Assignment
Prior to completing this assignment, read Chapter 3 carefully. View the video The Study of Attention, and review the article "Driven to Distraction: Dual-Task Studies of Simulated Driving and Conversing on a Cellular Telephone." Then complete the following experiments:
• Stroop
• Selective Attention
• Ambiguous Figures
• Muller-Lyer
Attention in its different forms (e.g., selective attention, divided attention, etc.) and perception are both essential aspects of cognition. The goal of this assignment is to introduce you to the topics of attention and perception and the procedures used to study them. Keep in mind that each experiment illustrates a procedure or task that is used by scientists to understand attention and/or perception.
Your paper must begin with an introduction to the topic and must address the four bullet points below. In your paper,
• Reflect on your experience as the subject in the experiments-did your performance surprise you? Why or why not?
• Describe what your performance on the selected task tells you about attention and perception.
• Describe the extent to which the results of each experiment or procedure apply to real-life experiences and settings. Support your points with evidence from at least one peer-reviewed research article.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
