What was the study design?

• matched pairs
• repeated measures and independent measures
• repeated measure
• both repeated measures and independent measures

Who were the participants?

• male and female undergraduates and researchers
• male undergraduates
• female undergraduates
• psychology researchers

What did 'shadowing' involve?

• repeating out loud what is being heard
• paying attention to the passage
• Recalling words from a list
• Listening to two messages at the same time

What was the DV in the first experiment?

• the number of words recognised correctly in the rejected message.
• The number of words recalled in the attended passage
• the number of conditions
• the number of words in the shadowed passage

What was the IV in the second experiment?

• whether the attended message was the right or left ear
• the numbe rof instructions given
• whether the participant's name was used
• The number of correct answers

How many levels of the IV were in experiment 3?

• 5
• 4
• 3
• 2

In experiment 1 what was the mean recall of words form the shadowed passage?

• 1.9 of 7
• 7 of 7
• 4.9 of 7
• 2.6 of 7

How many of the affective messages (with name) were heard?

• 20/39
• 20/36
• 4/39
• 4/36

The results of experiment 3 were..

• significant for low numbers
• significant for high numbers
• significant at p=0.05
• not significant

A conclusion from the study is 

• there is no inattention barrier
• important messages can break through the inattention barrier
• numbers are blocked
• words are remembered despite being not affective
