Attention Main goals of Attention Selective vs. divided attention Dichotic Listening Filtering- early, intermediate, late Colin Cherry and Broadbent’s filter model Cocktail party, Dear Aunt Jane experiment Treisman’s Attenuation Theory McKay’s late filter experiment Load Theory of Attention Stroop Task Overt vs covert attention (spatial attention) No look pass- overt or covert? Saccades, fixations- overt or covert? Posner’s cueing paradigm- overt or covert? Salience Spatial-, Object-, Feature- based attention Egly’s object-based attention experiment Hemispatial neglect **Feature-binding and Feature Integration Theory** Short-term and Working Memory Modal model of memory- Atkinson and Shiffrin Sensory memory- iconic and echoic Make a table/chart for capacity and duration of sensory, short- and long-term memory!!! Sensory memory Capacity and duration of sensory memory- Fragility of sensory memory Short-term memory Short-term memory- duration and decay Capacity of short-term memory Information limits in short-term memory Chunking Baddeley and Hitch model of working memory Phonological loop, visuo-spatial sketchpad, central executive Phonological similarity effect, word length effect, articulatory suppression What do these show? Mental Rotation Role of Central Executive Vogel’s distractor experiment- what is the take home message? Long-Term Memory Interactions with short-term memory Serial Position Curve- Primacy and recency effects and what causes them Wicken’s semantic interference in WM Recall vs recognition, which is easier? Why? H.M. and the role of the hippocampus in LTM, Anterograde amnesia Double Dissociations in memory- what do they mean? Episodic vs Semantic memory Double dissociation- K.C. and the Italian Woman Short- vs Long-Term memory Penfield’s electrical stimulation- what does this show? Semanticization of memory- Remember/Know experiments The goal of LTM Explicit vs Implicit Memory Repetition Priming Procedural Memory Classical Conditioning Double dissociations: What is the take home message of double dissociations? Explicit and implicit memory Short-term and Long-term memory Propaganda Effect Long-term memory: Encoding, Retrieval, Consolidation Encoding Retrieval Depth of processing Problems with depth of processing approach Factors that aid in encoding Factors that aid in retrieval Testing Effect Cued recall Encoding specificity State dependent learning Distributed vs massed practice effect Matching the cognitive task Synaptic vs systems level consolidation: What are the differences in time scale? Hebbian learning- neurons that fire together wire together Standard model of consolidation Hippocampus: involved in encoding, initial consolidation. Memories then transferred to other brain areas Graded amnesia Retrograde amnesia Multiple Trace Hypothesis
