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

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

day care for children's social and/or cognitive development.

Cognitive processes must be sufficiently flexible that they allow children to acquire language despite the varied ways in which adults support their language learning ( McDevitt and Ormrod, 2013). Cognitive process theory focuses more on semantic development. | Sociocultural | Sociocultural theory is how the language develops through social interaction
