Document Summary

What do transducers do: explain some of the ways in which is similar across humans. Chabris (1999): what do psychologists mean by selective attention, and what are its consequences, name and clearly describe the two forms of (cid:498)blindness(cid:499). Connecting this lecture to other course material, and the (cid:498)real world(cid:499): the yarbus (1967) study is a good example of an experiment. Identify both the independent and dependent variable in this study. How has the dependent variable been operationalized: take a look at these two pictures, and identify what you see in each one. If you look closely, you"ll see that the middle character is the same (and your brain will have received the same sensory information in both cases), even though you likely perceived it differently in the two pictures. Think about why that happens -- it will help you to connect this lecture on sensation/perception with the one related to cognition in two weeks" time: sensation vs. perception.
