PSYB57H3 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Visual Cortex, Stroop Effect
Document Summary
The more information a signal provides; the more time it takes a subject to produce the appropriate response. Broadbent"s filter model: dichotic testing and restriction of channel capacity. Waugh and norman"s model: short term belongs to the present while long term belongs to the past . Give a set of items to remember and after a number that they have to count in reverse. (now allowing for rehearsal to happen) Perceptual cycle- the process by whereby our schemata (expectations of what we are likely to find in the world) guide our exploration of the world and in turn are shaped by what we find there. Event related potentials- used to measure the time course of the flow of sensory information and response-related processes, the electrical signals emitted by the brain can be recorded using electrodes placed on the scalp. They are represented by waveforms and are the electrical signals that occur after the onset of an stimulus.
