This website talks about unilateral neglect. It shows you different techniques that they show to measure it. I thoght the pictures that they showed were very interesting.

This website presents some tests to see how difficult the stroop test can be. The test is designed for kids, it looks like fun.

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.

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.

Site 2 Review:
This article goes into extreme details as to where researchers believe the damage to the brain is located at in patients with visual neglect. It also discusses methods for testing patients for this along with the results found. You must click on the button to the right that says view FULL TEXT (PDF) Version to see the entire article.

Rational for tags: These will help me remember what this article is related to and what it is about along with what class it was for.

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 article is a great read. It discusses the study that was done by FSU on how our attention is almost demanded by beautiful people.

This article disscuess attraciton and the attention demanded from attraction and was done through a study. That is the reason I used these tags.

I think this article really goes over the automatic attention that we give things. It is a good read and is broken down into questions that help you to get a good idea of the way we processing our information automatically.

The tags I used are in regards to the paper and what it disscusses. Automaticity and processing were used which is a part of our attention.

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.

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.

Review:
This is very limited but could helpful if you needed to learn definitions and also you can make your own flashcards. The definitions were good but I wouldn’t go to this site for serious studying.

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.
