Share your resources for our chapter and lectures on attention here. Please follow the same formatting from the previous chapters. In addition, please review what has been shared prior to your getting around to commenting. You should not repeat a shared site, find something new to contribute. This should not be a problem for those of you staying ahead of the game, only the procrastinators 
I would also encourage each of you to first edit your comment in some type of word processor (word, google docs, etc., you can compare word processors here). If you get filtered into the spam folder, you will have a way to repeat the commenting without starting from scratch. It will also be helpful for spell checking and formatting.
I will try to stay “focused” and “vigilant” in reviewing your comments, “paying attention” to the time and effort you put into sharing in the “spotlight” (hehehe).

Hum…looks empty here…I guess i’ll be the first to post for Chapter Three it looks like. Seeing how I was about last to post on Chapter One, only seems fair I guess….Here goes…
Chapter Three’s Websites
Amanda’s Website #1 I Found: http://www.fscwv.edu/users/ffidura/cogpsy/cpprcptn.html
Brief Title: Perceptual Processes: Attention
Review: About half way down the page on this website is where the ‘Attention’ area starts for information. The top half of the website discusses the kinds of Pattern Recognitions. Everything listed in the ‘Attention’ area on this website is what we talked about in class and are covering for chapter three from the book. It refers to Attentional Phenomena, Selective Attention, Divided Attention, Theories of Attention, Bottleneck Theories, Broadbent’s Filter Theory, Treisman’s Attenuation Model, and Automatic VS Controlled Processing, and more…It also has links to models and pictures and diagrams to better show and describe the theories in this chapter. I found it very helpful and it helped clarify things in a simple manner.
Tags: Perceptual Processes Attention Website for Cognition Cognitive Psychology 3310 Chapter 3 Selective Divided Bottleneck Broadbent Treisman
The Reasoning Behind My Tags… “ “ ‘s are used to pin point my “tag” words I used.
“Perceptual Processes: Attention”-These are the words from the title of the website on the page of the information I found.
“Website for Cognition Cognitive Psychology 3310 Chapter 3”- These words all are used to reference the class in general so later on I can research for this link if I remember it was for this class. As well as the chapter number 3.
“Selective Divided Bottleneck Broadbent Treisman”-These words either refer to a theory or a person which I would use in the future to try and search for the link to this website page again.

Brief Title: Attending to Information – Planning and Attention
Review: This website is a great and very well detailed page of the information dealing with attention like from chapter three that we have learned. It breaks the theories, and psychologists’ contributions down by using a detailed and very organized outline that also has pictures, charts, and diagrams that are very helpful.
Tags: Attending to Information – Planning and Attention Website for Cognition Cognitive Psychology 3310 Chapter 3 Selective Divided Bottleneck Broadbent Treisman University of Sydney Outline Detailed
The Reasoning Behind My Tags… “ “ ‘s are used to pin point my “tag” words I used.
“Attending to Information – Planning and Attention”-the words as the title of the website.
“Website for Cognition Cognitive Psychology 3310 Chapter 3”- These words all are used to reference the class in general so later on I can research for this link if I remember it was for this class. As well as the chapter number 3.
“Selective Divided Bottleneck Broadbent Treisman”- These words either refer to a theory or a person which I would use in the future to try and search for the link to this website page again.
“University of Sydney”-the school/university that the website came off of.
“Outline Detailed”-It’s in an outline format, very detailed and then AT THE BOTTOM it has a less detailed and easier to understand outline instead. Overall very helpful I think.

Ch 3: Aspects of Attention
http://www.cdl.org/resource-library/articles/attention2.php
Review: I liked this site a lot because it is very thorough. It elaborates on attention, the structures in the brain that are related to attention, and the different aspects of attention, such as distraction, determining what to attend to and the span of attention. The explanations given on the website are interesting and easy to understand. There are also plenty of references given, so anyone’s who is interested can research further.
Tags: attention ch3 cog3310 cognition psychology NGCSU whatisattention
Rational: cog3310, cognition, psychology tags are relevant to the class and subject. I used NGCSU to help me with academic searches. The tags attention and ch3 pertain to the specific material in the text, and the whatisattention tag pertains to the basic question I wanted to answer by looking on this website.
Ch 3: Parietal Lobe
http://www.neuroskills.com/tbi/bparieta.shtml
Review: This site is short, but it gives a brief description of the parietal lobe. It also explains (briefly) the type of damage that can occur in the parietal lobe and what the consequences of the damage is. It also provides a colorful graphic for those who are unaware of where the parietal lobe lies within the brain. It’s interesting to see how many things can go wrong by destroying a small portion of one lobe.
Tags: cog3310 cognition psychology NGCSU attention brain brainstructures brainlobes braindamage
Rational: The first three tags (cog3310, cognition, psychology) relate to this course and department. NGCSU is an academic tag for me. Attention is the subject of this chapter, and the final tags (brain, brainstructures, brainlobes, braindamage) are specific to the website and the content of it.

Review of Lauren Foust’s website:
http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/words.html
This website allows you to take the stroop test and see the effects first-hand. It’s interesting, but not really something you would use as a real study tool or information for a paper.
Review of Megan Collis’s website:
http://www.educatedbeing.com/2006/08/08/how-to-increase-your-attention-span/
She’s right, this site isn’t really intellectually stimulating. However, the website presents tips that might be helpful while trying to focus during academic classes. This is not a site for an academic paper.

This site provides a great synopsis of paying attention and provides a “try it yourself” experience.
Tags: cog3310, attention, visual/auditory distraction, “try it yourself”, psychology.
Reason for tags: cog3310 identifies the class, attention identifies the chapter, visual/auditory distraction describe the subject matter, “try it yourself” represents the availability of an interactive application and psychology identifies the subject matter.

This is a PBS video about paying too much attention. I found this interesting and poignant.
Tags: cog3310, attention, “too much attention”, insatiable, and psychology.
Reason for tags: cog3310 identifies the class, attention identifies the chapter, “too much attention” identifies the video title and subject matter, insatiable is a comprehensive word used in the video to describe this experience, and psychology describes the subject matter.

Site #1 Review:
http://psyche.cs.monash.edu.au/v5/psyche-5-05-tzelgov.html
When reading the section on automaticity in the book I was amazed that our brain could become so use to certain actions and responses. The act of driving was just one example. This article, which is great for studying or in other academics, is a great tool for further explanation. It explains how the brain becomes aware and in tune to automated activity and even loses awareness of said activity. The idea that our brain is that awesome just amazed me and this article really helps explain the brain’s role.
Tags: cog3310 Cognition Attention Psychology Informative Brain
Tag Rational: I tagged these under the required and obvious tags of attention, cog3310, and cognition. This is so I can find them easily for future use. I also used Informative and Brain because the idea that our brain can become automatic is amazing! I also want to remember this and thought that informative might spark my interest when perusing this section.
Site #2 Review:
http://www.diku.dk/~panic/eyegaze/node15.html
I liked the information on visual attention and selective visual attention. The information I found on this subject really increased my understanding of this subject. I never really realized how much information there is for our brain to input and how selective our attention truly is. This site is really great in explaining how our brain processes and how attentive it is. I recommend this site!
Tags: cog3310 Cognition Attention Andrew Historical-Figures Psychology
Tag Rational: I used cog3310, cognition, psychology, and attention as they are required and obvious tags for finding the information in the future. I used Andrew and Historical-Figures for two different reasons. I put Andrew because I want to show this to my boyfriend and maybe he will learn something (I always knew he was selectively attentive)!!! I also used Historical-Figures because several important psychological figures contributed to this article.

http://www.unm.edu/~quadl/college_learning/attention.html
This is a great overview that will help us, as cognition students, to study for the dreaded test on attention. It goes into the history of early vs. late selection and the major players involved with the research, yet stays relatively general…just like class. It goes a little deeper as well, but is certainly not overwhelming.
selective attention arousal Iris Benelli 1997 models capacity deGroot Broadbent Treisman Deutsch-Deutsch Norman memory bottleneck filter attenuation RAS overview general cognition cog3310
I included tags that I felt were key words (usually highlighted in the site itself) as well as some of the researchers we discussed in class. Iris Benelli is the author, it was created in 1997 so its a good thing its just an overview. Finally, of course, I included general cognition class tags and its use as a general overview.
http://www.unm.edu/~quadl/college_learning/attention.html
This site is great because it will HELP us learn in college. It goes into various principles to help students pay better attention during class and study times; something we all certainly need. It views attention as something we can learn and develop skills for. I think I just really like sites that will apply to our lives and be useful for us…so this is another one.
learning attention college Frank Logan principles active participation minimizing work textbook applications cognition cog3310
Again, important topics and principles within the site are included as well as general class information. I also included ‘textbook’ because I believe this site is actually a chapter in a textbook as well as the tag ‘applications’ because it helps us apply what we are learning in class to our lives…very important.

If you are still having trouble understanding “attention” take a look at this cite! It mainly talks about aspects of auditory attention. Although, it has more than enough information on the study of attention, Neurophysiological attention, interest regions of the brain and more. Really good informative cite.
cog3310 prof_chuck attention auditory_attention
I chose auditory_attention as a tag because this cite is based around the study of “attention” but auditory_attention is what it’s main focus in on. Attention informs me what chapter it is coming from in our book. Cog3310 and prof_chuck are for class purposes.
http://ilab.usc.edu/bu/
I thought this website did a great job of describing visual attention. It teaches you with many aspects such as informational text, diagrams, images of visual conceptions, movies, and it also has an interactive mode to where you can work with the cite.
cog3310 prof_chuck attention visual_attention
I chose visual attention for the reason being that the cite focuses mainly on the theory of bottom-up visual attention. The tag attention helps me keep this cite in its place for the chapter. cog3310 and prof_chuck are for the class.

This mostly focuses on our hearing difficulties as we get older. The elderly tend to filter out more information and end up missing parts of others’ speech. It continues talking about the whys and hows of hearing difficulties throughout its content. It is fairly short and an easy read.
cog3310, chapter 3, filtering, attention, hearing, communication, speech
Each of these tags serves its purpose in reminding me that this information ties back to chapter 3 on attention and performance. It lets me know that this article mostly contains info on hearing and our brains filtering process…..where speech is filtered, therefore changing what we communicate.
http://life.familyeducation.com/parenting/behavioral-problems/40416.html
This is a very long 3 page article that is well worth the read. It captures your “attention” and keeps its focus on children and their problems with attention. It gives reasons why children may have these problems and gives some focus to auditory and verbal skills learned, difficulty with motor skills and paying attention, and learning difficulties and what they may stem from.
cog3310, chapter 3, attention, children, motor skills, learning difficulties
Chapter 3 of my book based on attention and performance can be used in reference to this article. These tags also tells me that any information on children, motor skills, and learning difficulties can be found within the article. And I can use these to reference me to this article if I need any info centering around children and their lack of attention.

This is an excellent resource in understanding applied attention and perception concepts in real world clinical environments. The data contained in here relate to dichotic listening tests as applied to early onset schizophrenics polarizing right brain advantages and left brain advantages and deficits. It also goes on to reiterate the signifigance of left brain deficits in schizophrenic attention deficits. This was an interesting read and it would be a fine resource in paper writing or any other forms of research.

Review:
This is lecture notes about attention, they are laid out very clearly and are easy to understand. I don’t think it really offers any “extra” information that you wouldn’t be able to attain from the book, however, I liked it as a whole and thought it would be good to reinforce the chapter.

This site discuses the stroop effect, which is still one of the most frequently discussed concepts in the study of sensation and perception in modern psychology. However, it goes slightly farther in that it proposes the stroop effect may modified, and possibly even negated. Although the researchers utilized the dubious practice of hypnosis, the effect remains the same.
When an individual, rather than being aware of the color of the word as well as the word itself, the stroop effect is noticeably evident. However, when the words are presented as gibberish, and the subject concentrates upon the the color to the exclusion of the word, the stroop effect is negated.
tags: cog3310, stroop effect,
rationale: the article concerns the stroop effect.

The filter theory, first proposed by Broadbent in 1958, argues that there is a filter in utilization by the brain to better process auditory stimuli, and is a staple theory in modern sensation and perception studies. This website is equipped with three differing audio tracks that illuminate the difference between completely hearing something, and not hearing all of it. If an individual heard only the first or second track, the brain would more than likely tune it out. However, in combination, the resulting sound is much more likely to be consciously processed and pass through the filter.
tags: cog3310, broadbent, source-filter theory,
rationale: broadbent for his original contribution to all resulting filter theory research, source-filter theory for his specific one.

Site 1 Review:
This site would be a good review for this chapter because it discusses attention along with detailed information on the different types of attention. I will also help review Broadbent’s filter theory and Triesman’s Attenuation Theory.
Tags: cog3310, attention, brain, psychology, Broadbent filter theory
Rational for tags: these tags will help me remember this relates to this class, I used attention, brain, and Broadbent’s theory because it relates to what is being discussed in the article, also psychology because it is more broad than the others so if all else fails I can look under that tag

This website gave me more information on the inattentional blindness phenomenon while using the example of driving in a car and not seeing something in the road. The author’s work shows that we consciously see far less of our world than we think we do, which I found very interesting.
Tags: cog3310, attention, psychology, Cognition, driving
I used these psychology-related terms as tags for later reading on inattentional blindess as well as “driving” because that was the main example they use.

This website shows research that was performed on monkeys and what part of the brain is in charge when your attention is drawn to other stimuli other than what you’re supposed to be focused on. They found out that the location of the monkey’s attention corresponds with the neuron in the laterial intraparietal area that has the greatest amount of activity. This gives me more information on the brain and attention.
Tags:cog3310, Cognition, psychology, attention, visual, brain, monkeys
I tagged this site with everything related to cognition and attention as well as the brain and monkeys because it was research done on the monkey’s brain instead of a human brain.
