A) Top-down 
B) Bottom-up 
C) Conceptually driven

Question 12

Rogers and Monsell's (1995)investigation of task switching showed that for even simple tasks response times were on trials where task switching was necessary compared to trials when it was not necessary.

A) 50% faster 
B) 50% slower 
C) 33% slower

Question 13

When a target "pops out," the participant is doing

Accepted Answer
