Attention

1. Ability to combine features to perceive a single object
4. Filter model: Unattended stimuli are blocked early in processing
6. processing: The ability to perform a task without attention after extensive practice
9. listening task: Task that demonstrates selective attention by shadowing one message while ignoring another
10. party effect: Tendency to detect your own name in an unattended message
11. Period when the eyes remain stationary between saccades
12. Attenuation model: Model suggesting unattended info is not blocked but weakened
14. Shifting attention to a location before a stimulus appears
18. attention: Focusing attention on a location without moving your eyes
19. The process of focusing on specific objects while ignoring others
20. attention: Thefocusing of attention on one message and ignoring all others
21. cueing task: Task used to measure how attention improves reaction time at a location

2. When a response to one stimulus interferes with response to another
3. salience: Attention guided by physical properties like color, contrast, and movement
5. up processing: Attention driven by the stimulus itself
7. load: The limited capacity of our cognitive system to handle multiple inputs
8. attention: The ability to pay attention to more than one thing at a time
11. Integration Theory: Theory explaining how features are combined
12. down processing: Attention driven by goals, expectations, or knowledge
13. A brief shift in eye position from one location to another
15. blindness: Failure to notice a visible stimulus because attention is elsewhere
16. attention: Focusing attention by physically moving the eyes
17. effect: Task used to demonstrate interference between reading and color naming
