Individual differences in working memory predicted the ability to perform an attention-demanding tracking task, but did not predict the likelihood of noticing an unexpected object present during the task. We discuss the reasons why we might not expect such individual differences in noticing and why other studies may have found them. (2012). Rivardo, Brown, Rodgers, Maurer, Camaione, Minjock, and Gowen wrote, “Integrating Inattentional Blindness and Eyewitness Memory”. They wrote, “Although there

skill sets with the presence of habitual responses as well as for experts, such as Olympic athletes, to facilitate goal-directed actions without distraction. And in terms of cognitive computation, athletes aim to develop skilled movements by accomplishing their goals at the lowest possible cost (Wilson, 2008). From a cognitive psychology perspective, anxiety is viewed as an emotion characterized by the negative affect that impairs performance (Eysenck, 1996). Several theorists have argued that the

Spatial Cueing 1.When examining the result of the lab, which of the three reaction times were lower (faster) - (a) no cue (b) valid cue or (c ) invalid cue? If the “no cue” reaction time was faster than the invalid cue, what could be inferred about invalid cues? All members get a lower response time in valid cue and we also got a "no cue" reaction time faster than invalid cue. These invalid cue occur at locations where nothing was predict. This means that each member does not expect that the signal

Attentional Capture using sudden onset Abstract Attentional capture is achieved through the novelty of sudden onset stimuli when near complete cognitive load is not reached. This experiment, where participants must identify a target letter in an array of distractions, employs manipulations of the presence of an onset, target location and cue presence. By lowering the frequency of the onset, the capacity to capture attention was expected to decrease reaction time to locate the target. By cueing

The availability heuristic refers to the immediate examples that come to mind when a person thinks of a topic (Bartol & Bartol, 2016). These examples are generated through prior experiences and recently obtained information, such as news media accounts. Regarding violence many of our availability heuristics come from obtained information rather than personal experiences. This is especially true for individuals who live in low crime areas. I know from my own experience that most of my views of violence
