  1. 6. (Valid and Invalid) Providing a signal about where attention should be directed before a stimulus appears.
  2. 7. Search Process of scanning the environment to find a target among distractors.
  3. 8. Rapid eye movement between fixation points.
  4. 9. Cortex Brain area critical for spatial awareness and directing attention.
  5. 10. Tracking Technique measuring eye movements to study where and how attention is focused.
  6. 11. Effect Delay in reaction time when the color of a word and its meaning conflict.
  7. 14. Problem The question of how separate visual features are correctly combined to form one perception.
  8. 15. Blindness Failure to notice large changes in a visual scene.
  9. 17. Syndrome Disorder causing difficulty attending to multiple visual objects at once.
  10. 18. and Ventral Pathways Brain pathways responsible for spatial (“where”) and object (“what”) processing.
  11. 20. Process by which features are combined into a single coherent percept.
  12. 21. Search Searching for a target defined by a single distinguishing feature.
  13. 22. Attention Shifting attention without moving the eyes.
  14. 23. Conjunction Incorrectly combining features from different stimuli due to divided attention.
Down
  1. 1. The property of a stimulus that makes it stand out from its surroundings.
  2. 2. Effect When a target stands out immediately from distractors due to its unique feature.
  3. 3. Brain disorder causing inattention to one side of visual space.
  4. 4. Integration Theory of Attention Theory explaining how attention combines separate features into a unified perception.
  5. 5. Blindness Failure to notice an unexpected object because attention is focused elsewhere.
  6. 8. Attention Focusing on one stimulus while ignoring others.
  7. 12. Stage Early stage of processing where basic visual features are analyzed automatically.
  8. 13. Attention Stage Stage when attention is applied to bind features together for perception.
  9. 16. Attention Attending to two or more tasks or stimuli simultaneously.
  10. 19. Cognitive process of focusing awareness on a specific stimulus.
  11. 22. Search Searching for a target defined by a combination of two or more features.
