Assignment
- How do Folk et al. (1992) suggest that event relevance for attentional selection is determined?
- What exactly do they mean with contingent involuntary orienting of attention?
- What is their experimental hypothesis?
- What is the alternative hypothesis?
- How did they test their hypothesis (e.g., how do the stimuli look like, what is the task of the participants, what are their dependent and independent variables)?
- What are their result predictions if their hypothesis is correct?
- What are their result predictions if the alternative hypothesis is correct?
- What do they find?
- What does this mean? How do they interpret their results?
