Selective attention models proposed by Treisman, Broadbent and Deutsch & Deutsch differ in the extent to which irrelevant (ignored) information is processed to a meaningful (semantic) level. What is the correct order of the models, from little meaning processing to much meaning processing?Broadbent, Deutsch & Deutch, TreismanDeutsch & Deutsch, Treisman, BroadbentBroadbent, Treisman, Deutsch & DeutschDeutsch & Deutsch, Broadbent, Treisman In a test, the assignment is to complete the letters 'l-c-m-t-e' into a complete word. The chance that this will succeed is greater if the word 'locomotive' has been read some time before (the 'repetition priming' effect).This chance depends on being able to remember the earlier offer of the word in a "recall" task.This chance depends on being able to recognize the word in a "recognition" taskThis chance is independent of being able to remember or recognize the word.This chance depends on both remembering and recognizing the word.

What do cognitive neuropsychologists conclude from the occurrence of a 'double dissociation' between two cognitive functions?
That the two functions are performed by the same brain structure
That the two functions are performed by the same brain structure, but by different parts of it
That the two functions are performed by two separate but dependent brain structures
That the two functions are performed by two separate and independently functioning brain structures
Broadbent's model for visual attention contains a 'desicion channel' with a limited processing capacity. What inspired this idea of limited capacity?
The computer and telecommunication technology
Visual attention of animals
Filtering coffee
The memory card of a camera
What has Gestalt Psychology been particularly concerned with?
'Laws' in grouping elements in the visual field
'Laws' in grouping elements in the auditory field
'Laws' in grouping brain structures
'Laws' in grouping auditory and visual information
The visual system in the brain has two 'flows' or streams: the dorsal flow or stream and the ventral flow or stream. What is probably the function of the dorsal flow or stream?
Recognizing objects
The perception of the visual world
Steering movement based on perception
None of the above
The expression "perception lies in the brain or the perceiver" is most consistent with ...
The approach to low vision
The neuropsychological approach to visual perception
'The Gibsonian view' on visual perception
The constructivist theory of Richard Gregory and others
Richard Gregory distinguished between 3 types of visual illusions:
Physical phenomena, with as an example ...
Illusions due to physiological processes in the brain that are not influenced top-down, with as an example ...
Illusions due to top-down influence on perception, with as an example ...

What does the "law of similarity" from the Gestalt psychology state?
That "figure" and "background" are easier to separate as they resemble each other
That elements in the visual field can be grouped together based on common color or shape

This chance depends on being able to remember the earlier offer of the word in a "recall" task.
This chance depends on being able to recognize the word in a "recognition" task
This chance is independent of being able to remember or recognize the word.
This chance depends on both remembering and recognizing the word.
Broadbent's model for visual attention contains a "decision channel" with limited processing capacity. What inspired this idea of limited capacity?

Through the discovery of the modular organization of the brain
The computer and telecommunications technology
The laws from Gestalt psychology
Characteristic of the reading disorder "deep dyslexia" is / are:
Semantic errors in reading (for example, calling a jacket a skirt)
Patients with deep dyslexia do not read words as existing words
Both A and B are correct
Neither A nor B is correct
What is the most important characteristic of "form" agnosia (compared to "integrative" agnosia)?
In form agnosia, there is also "unilateral neglect"
In form agnosia, the patient can not only not visually recognize objects, but also not after them to touch.
In form agnosia, the patient cannot copy drawings.
Form agnosia is primarily a disorder of the "true" system.
The best estimate of the memory capacity is:
Seven (± two) units
The capacity cannot be determined because it depends on the nature of the units
Four (± one) units
For numbers 7 ± 2 and for letters 4 ± 1
The expression "perception lies in the brain of the perceiver" is the most consistent with which approach in visual perception research?
The "feature" approach
Gibson's "perception
