Chapter 18- Attention and Higher Cognition

1. Attention A state or condition of selective awareness or percep-
tual receptivity, by which specific stimuli are selected
for enhanced processing.

2. Vigilance The global, nonselective level of alertness of an indi-
vidual.

3. Cocktail party effect the selective enhancement of attention in order to filter
out distracters, such as while listening to one person
talking in the midst of a noisy party

4. Dichotic presenta- The simultaneous delivery of different stimuli to the
tion right and left ears.

5. Shadowing A task in which the participant is asked to focus at-
tention on on ear of the other while stimuli are being
presented separately to both ears.

6. Inattentional blind- The failure to perceive nonattended stimuli that seem
ness so obvious as to be impossible to miss.

7. Divided-attention A task in which the participant is asked simultaneously
task focus attention on two or more stimuli.

8. Attentional spot- The shifting of our limited selective attention around the
light environment to highlight stimuli for enhanced process-
ing.

9. attentional bottle- a filter that results from the limits intrinsic to our at-
neck tentional processes, with the result that only the most
important stimuli are selected for special processing

10. Early selection A model of attention in which the attentional bottleneck
model filters out stimuli before even preliminary perceptual
analysis has occurred.

11. Late selection mod- A model of attention in which the attentional bottleneck
el filters out stimuli only after substantial analysis has
occurred.
