Attention And Perception
Prior to completing this assignment, please read Chapter 3 carefully. View the video The Study of Attention (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., 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,

This is what I send you and what we have to do.
Hi Guys,
Okay… I have been e-mailing back and forth with my course lead and my department head since last night, and yes, there is something very wrong with the links in the directions for assignment one. You SHOULD be able to link to experiments with attention and perception, the Stroop Effect, etc. This was supposed to be fixed several weeks ago but was not, and I, along with many other people, are very frustrated over this, as I’m sure you are.
But–as they say in show biz, the show must go on!
So… here’s what we’re going to do: You are going to Google “attention and perception exercises.” There are many, many online. Choose three or four (take your pick) and do them. Then follow the instructions for your paper and write it just as you would have, carefully following the instructions and reading the rubric in its entirety! It will take you probably a grand total of 10 minutes longer than it would have otherwise.
AND… the best part… I’m backing up the due date to Thursday at midnight to turn this in since we lost so much time with the debacle with the links in the assignment prompt. That should make you very happy! Of course, if you can get it done sooner, that’s fine! 🙂
I’m a reasonable person, and I think this is certainly a reasonable solution. I do apologize for all the confusion over the problem with the links. These things happen, though, and we have effectively resolved the problem. In the meantime, the tech team is working on it so that we won’t have this problem in future offerings of the course.
Have a great rest-of-your-weekend!
Dr. Gray
