ATTENTION EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 100% ACCURATE!
Attention - ANSWER Focusing on specific features of the environment or on certain
thoughts or activities.

Attenuation theory of attention - ANSWER Anne Treisman's model of selective attention
that proposes that selection occurs in two stages. In the first stage, an attenuator
analyzes the incoming message and lets through the attended message—and also the
unattended message, but at a lower (attenuated) strength.

Attenuator - ANSWER In Treisman's model of selective attention, the attenuator
analyzes the incoming message in terms of physical characteristics, language, and
meaning. Attended messages pass through the attenuator at full strength, and
unattended messages pass though with reduced strength.

Automatic processing - ANSWER Processing that occurs automatically, without the
person intending to do it, and that also uses few cognitive resources. Automatic
processing is associated with easy or well-practiced tasks.

Balint's syndrome - ANSWER A condition caused by brain damage in which a person
has difficulty focusing attention on individual objects.

Change blindness - ANSWER Difficulty in detecting changes in similar, but slightly
different, scenes that are presented one after another. The changes are often easy to
see once attention is directed to them, but are usually undetected in the absence of
appropriate attention.

Cocktail party effect - ANSWER The phenomenon that occurs when, in the process of
focusing attention on one message or conversation, a message from another source
enters consciousness. This can occur when a person is focusing attention on a
conversation at a party and suddenly hears his or her name from across the room.

Covert attention - ANSWER Occurs when attention is shifted without moving the eyes,
commonly referred to as seeing something "out of the corner of one's eye." Contrasts
with Overt attention.
