6. In Broadbents filter model, does the Short term store (S system) operate in parallel, physical features and unlimited capacity?

  • False, it has limited capacity
  • True
  • False
  • False, it operates serially

7. What is the core concept of Lavies perceptual load model?

  • If the load on perceptual analysis is slight, then there is no filtering and non/targets are processed, When the load is heavy, there will be full capacity on filtering (gating)
  • If the load on perceptual analysis is heavy, then there is no filtering and non/targets are processed, When the load is slight, there will be full capacity on filtering (gating)

8. Which is the most effective in terms of selection?

  • Stimulus set = Response set
  • Stimulus set > Response set
  • Stimulus set < Response set

9. In the filter attenuation model, why are names allowed semantic analysis?

  • Low activation thresholds
  • High activation thresholds
  • No activation threshold
  • The filter model is an all or nothing model

10. What is the central claim of late-selection theories (e.g Deutsch Deutsch, 1963)?

  • All messages are analysed to the level of response set, selection of attention based on PHYSICAL PROPERTIES. Contradicts early-selection models
  • All messages are analysed to the level of stimulus set, selection of attention based on MEANING. Contradicts early-selection models
  • All messages are analysed to the level of response set, selection of attention based on MEANING. Contradicts early-selection models
  • All messages are analysed to the level of stimulus set, selection of attention based on PHYSICAL PROPERTIES. Contradicts early-selection models

11. What does the data from Broadbent (1954) suggest?

  • Channel selection, slow channel switching between ears
  • Selective access, slow channel switching between ears
  • Fast channel switching
  • Restricted access

12. Which of these findings poses a problem for the filter model?

  • Moray (1959), pps could identify the language used in the unattended channel so there was an element of semantic analysis
  • Moray (1959), pps recognised their own name in the unattended channel so there was an element of semantic analysis
  • Moray (1959), pps did not recognise their own name in the unattended channel so there was an element of semantic analysis

13. What is the difference between the early filter model and the filter attenuation model?

  • Although the unattended message is not fully analysed for meaning, small familiar info (e.g names) can get through to deep analysis
  • Although the unattended message is fully analysed for meaning, small familiar info (e.g names) can get through to deep analysis
  • "The attended message is eradicated and the unattended message takes its place"

14. Which of these is NOT a component of the filter model? (Broadbent, 1958)

  • A rehearsal mechanism
  • Limited capacity channel
  • Long term store
  • Selective filter (channel selective)
  • Short term store

15. What was the IV in Broadbent (1954s) split-span procedure?

  • The colour in which the digits were presented
  • The voice with which the digits were presented
  • The rate at which the digits were presented
  • The tone at which the digits were presented

16. What was the critical result behind Lavies perceptual load hypothesis?

  • There was a noticeable dual task decrement from only the high load condition
  • The compatibility effect only arose for the low load condition (small no of non-targets), no corresponding effect for high load condition
  • No resources were dedicated towards target detection so pps performed equally in both tasks
  • The compatibility effect only arose for the high load condition (small no of non-targets), no corresponding effect for low load condition

17. What is the concept of 'Categorising'?

  • Only processing events which belong to a particular category. Takes practice to establish categories/members
  • Selection of events with particular physical features = processing
  • Once a category is establish, members are selected on the basis of bias to the category rather than on physical features

18. What is the concept of 'filtering'?

  • Selection of events with particular physical features = processing
  • Only processing events which belong to a particular category. Takes practice to establish categories/members
  • Once a category is establish, members are selected on the basis of bias to the category rather than on physical features

19. Does the limited capacity channel in the filter model (P system) operate serially on a time-sensitive basis?

  • False, operates in parallel
  • True
  • False
  • False, is not time-sensitive

20. What the main finding from Cherrys (1953) shadowing experiment?

  • Pps could recognise their name in the unattended channel
  • Very little is picked up from the unattended channel; only general physical characteristics without semantic analysis
  • A lot of information can be accessed from the unattended channel including age, tone of voice and other semantic factors
  • Pps could tell if the unattended channel was in German or Dutch
