Cognitive Psychology - wks 4 & 5

The ability to see an object's shape, colour and position, but being unable to put these together into an entire object is:

• associative agnosia

• apperceptive agnosia

• associative anosmia

• apperceptive anosmia

Being able to see, but unable to link this to basic visual knowledge is:

• associative agnosia

• apperceptive agnosia

• associative anosmia

• apperceptive anosmia

Processes directly shaped by the stimulus (sometimes called "data driven"), are called

• Top-down processing
• Bottom-up processing
• Lateral processing
• Vertical processing

Recognition of objects in influenced by:

• Colour of the object

• Shape of the object
• Size of the object
• Context of the object

The importance of features is evident in data from:

• data search tasks

• object search tasks

• visual search tasks

• screening search tasks

In visual search tasks, participants are generally slower searching for a target defined as a:

• single feature

• dual features

• combination of features

• absence of features

Integrative agnosia derives from damage to the:

• Temporal lobe
• Parietal lobe
• Frontal lobe
• Occipital lobe

Patients with integrative agnosia are impaired in tasks that require:

• Memory recall
• Feature detection

• Judgement in how features are bound together

• Complex object detection

What device is designed to present a stimuli for precisely controlled amounts of time?

• Stimulus Timer
• Mask

• Tachitoscope

• Stethoscope

This tool interrupts any continued processing after a stimulus has been presented.

• mask

• tachiotscope

• timer

• meter
