Exam 22: Extension: A - Attention and Consciousness

Petersen and colleagues propose that the collicular-pulvinar spotlight is part of a _____ process in attention.

Stimuli that "pop out" in a visual array illustrate the concept of:

Chronic stress has been shown to alter the structure of the prefrontal cortex in all of the following disorders EXCEPT _____.

Moran and Desimone showed that cells showing constraints related to spatial attention were found in:

Kolb and Whishaw suggest that when we multitask, we recruit additional resources from which brain region?

If a monkey is required to pay attention to the color and form of a stimulus in particular, Corbetta and colleagues found that _____ cortex(ices) is(are) activated.

Moran and Desimone showed that monkey neurons responded selectively to specific stimuli in their visual fields:

Posner and Petersen suggest that the "dual executive network" is located in the:

Frontal lobe neglect differs from parietal lobe neglect, because it is directed only to the region of the perception of _____ space.

The proposal that there are several different feature maps implies that there must be _____ in the visual system of the brain.

Who said, "Everyone knows what attention is. It is the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seems several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought"?

Taken together, the experiments of Corbetta and colleagues suggest that _____ cortex(ices) is(are) activated during tasks that call for attention to location.

In Treisman's theory, automaticity is most closely associated with the concept of:

It appears that complex brains need "organizing" processes to help govern behavior. The authors suggest that, in the human brain, the most evolved organizer is:

In conjunction searches, it is as if a mental spotlight scans from one location to another, searching for a particular combination of sensory information. This is an example of:

Work by Corbetta and colleagues suggests that the _____ is activated during attention shift studies, regardless of which visual field contains the stimulus.

Searching for a street sign in order to make a turn is an example of a(n) _____ process.

In Moran and Desimone's experiment, they found attentional effects in the monkey brain cells in areas:

As the human brain evolved an increased sensory capacity, it also required a mechanism for selective awareness and stimulus response. This mechanism is called:

Posner and Raichle suggest that _____ provides the "glue" that integrates features into a unitary object.
