    Short Answer Practice Questions


    1. In Donald Broadbent’s filter theory of attention, attention acts as a filter by creating a bottleneck
    through which information passes. Describe the steps of how this was tested using the dichotic listening
    task and what did the initial results show? (2 marks) How did Anne Treisman then show that this filter is
    leaky using shadowing? (2 marks) In the Cocktail Party Effect, what is the highly relevant stimulus
    outside of our attention that participants are likely to pay attention to? (1 mark)
    In the dichotic listening task, two different audio recordings were played in each ear. Participants were
    asked to attend to one ear and ignore the other ear. (1 mark) The initial results showed that participants
    did not process the information from the ignored ear. (1 mark). Participants were asked to repeat the
    information from the attended ear out loud using shadowing (1 mark), and some of the words from the
    ignored ear were said. (1 mark) The participant will pay attention to their name (1 mark)

    2. What is the definition of preparedness in relation to phobias? (1 mark) Give an example of a phobia we
    might be more likely to develop according to preparedness. (1 mark) Describe the three ways that
    conditioned taste aversions differ from what is typically shown with classical conditioning. (3 marks)
    In preparedness, we are evolutionarily predisposed to be more afraid of certain things. (1 mark) An
    example could be: snakes, spiders, heights, the dark. (1 mark) Taste aversions typically develops after
    only one trial (or pairing) whereas classical conditioning requires many trials. (1 mark). The delay
    between the conditioned stimulus (food) and the unconditioned stimulus (illness) can be very long (take
    hours), whereas the delay between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus is short in
    classical conditioning. (1 mark) In conditioned taste aversions, there is a lack of stimulus generalization
    (very specific), whereas classical conditioning can show stimulus generalization. (1 mark)
