Document Summary
Lecture 19: daniel"s visual cortex lights up when he echo-locates. Stimulus onset asynchrony (soa: represents the length of time between two stimuli in a prp paradigm. Attention as a multiple resource: multiple resources, assumes that we have more than one central resource, no interference if we draw from different resources. Multiple attentional resources: multiple pools of attention that are specific to what we are attending to, pool for spatial activities (walking, pool for cognitive activities (math, pool for motor activities (typing) Chess: you perform poorly in a high level cognitive task when you"re in a high stakes state of physiological and psychological arousal, ex. Choosing to look at something: mediated via cortical structures, reading, moving your attention from line to the next.
