| Broadbent's bottleneck | early processing of two stimuli leads to selective decision |
| dichotic listening task | participants exposed to two different messages on separate ears |
| freidman's attenuation model | attended stimuli is favoured but not indiscriminately |
| Deutsch & Deutsch | all stimuli fully processed resulting in late selection |
| temporal coherence | sound features of a given source are all active when present, all absent when not |
| spotlight | visual attention highlights one specific area |
| zoom lens | we can broaden or narrow our field of vision |
| split attention | attention is on two areas of space not adjacent to each other |
| object based attention is not used when it ... and when ... are used | impairs performance; top down processes |
| which is more common, object based inhibition or space based inhibition? | space based inhibition |
| Lavie's P-C Load theory | high perceptual load= less interference from distracting stimuli |
| Posners double network | endogenous- top down, expectation driven |
| endogenous system brain area | frontal-parietal |
| exogenous brain area | tempero-parietal junction |
| Wickens multiple resource theory | processing stages: perception, cognition, responding |
| Baddeleys Working memory model | tasks can be performed separately if one is speech based and the other spatial |
| Salvucci and Taatgen's threaded cognition | streams of though represent threads, can have two at a time if they do not use similar resources |
| underadditivity | brain activation in dual-task less then sum of activation for either task |
| multi-store model | sensory; short term memory; long term memory |
| unitary store model | short term and long-term memory rely on similar processes |
| jonides | Hippocampus and medial temporal lobe: forming novel relations |
| Baddeley's working memory model four components | Phonological loop |
| phonological similarity effect | reduced recall when sounds similar |
| world length effect | recall of words greater for short words |
