Exam 12: Attention and Consciousness

A patient who had a stroke in her right parietal lobe has extinction as a result of her injury.This person will fail to report a

During a particularly boring lecture,you carefully note the time on a clock that is mounted on the side wall of the classroom while keeping your eyes fixated on the professor's face.This is an example of

You are working diligently in the chemistry laboratory when suddenly a small explosion occurs in the rear of the room,immediately and automatically capturing your attention.This is an example of

The main deficit in Balint's syndrome is that patients can focus attention on only

Spatial attention to one hemifield leads to increased neural activity in the fusiform gyrus in the ipsilateral hemisphere.

Both early- and late-selection models of attention share the idea that

When spatial attention is introduced to one stimulus in a spatial array,simultaneous presentation of competing stimuli interferes less compared to the absence of spatial attention.

Attention can be divided into two broad categories:

The P1 ERP is associated most closely with the

The ability to direct attention independently of gaze or eye fixation is called

According to research by Wolfe and colleagues (2000),visual search is most rapid when

In exogenous cuing,the orienting of attention to the cue is driven primarily by the participant's goals.

When Bisiach and Luzzatti (1978)asked patients with the neglect syndrome to describe their own mental images of the Italian city in which they lived,the researchers found that

Results of the Posner spatial cuing task showed that cuing participants to the location of an upcoming target decreased their reaction time to detect it because attention enhanced perceptual processing for the target.This finding is most consistent with ________ models of attention.

________ is the idea that a stimulus does not have to be completely analyzed before it can be either selected for further processing or rejected as irrelevant.

Visual search for ________ targets requires the use of selective attention,whereas visual search for ________ targets can occur without attention.

Which of the following phenomena is the most consciously mediated?

Unilateral spatial neglect typically results from damage to the left temporal lobe.

On one trial of the Posner spatial cuing task,a flash of light validly cued the location of an upcoming target and enhanced the participant's reaction time to detect that target.Which of the following statements about the participant's subsequent responding to this location is most accurate?

All of the following describe differences between early-selection and late-selection models of attention EXCEPT
