Laura suffered brain damage and now has difficulty identifying objects. Specifically, she can see individual features, but has a hard time assembling those features into complex wholes. She is likely suffering from

• prosopagnosia

• apperceptive agnosia

• aphasia

• memory loss

Participants’ recognition thresholds are

• lower for frequently seen words.

• higher for recently seen words.

• not affected by priming.

• lower for words with unusual spelling.

Which of the following is an example of feature search?

• Looking for a black dog surrounded by black and brown cats and dogs.

• Looking for a black dog surrounded by squirrels

• Looking for a black dog surrounded by other black dogs

• Looking for two black dogs that match

Match the situation to the outcome based on signal detection theory.

• Correct Rejection

• Hearing your phone when it isn't ringing

• Miss

• Not hearing your phone when it IS ringing

• False Alarm

• Hearing your phone when it IS ringing

• Hit

• Not hearing your phone when it isn't ringing

Reorder the detectors in feature nets from first to last

• Letter

• Bigram

• Word

• Feature

Feature nets help with word recognition based on a combination of information from multiple sources, rather than just one source. This means that feature nets prioritize:

• efficiency

• accuracy

• detail

What's the main difference between the McClelland Rumelhart Model and Feature Nets?

• Feature nets only focus on signal enhancement

• McClelland Rumelhart only focus on signal enhancement

• Feature nets only focus on signal inhibition

• McClelland Rumelhart only focus on signal inhibition

The Thatcher effect occurs because we process faces:

• holistically

• based on features

• too fast

• too slow

Trying to listen to lecture and ignore a conversation in the hallway, is similar to a:

• dichotic listening task

• cocktail party effect

• inattentional blindness task

• change detection task

If a hunter always checks the same location for a deer, because they always see deer there, what type of priming is occuring?

• repetition priming

• expectation driven priming

• stimulus priming
