A) Divided attention involves concentrating on different activities, one activity at a time.
Which is an example of a divided attention task quizlet?When a person's attention is divided, one's brain is switching back and forth between tasks rather than distributing attention among all the tasks at the same time. Attempting to both study and watch television is an example of divided attention.
What is the role of attention in memory quizlet?The first step in getting information into memory is to pay attention to it. Attention involves focusing awareness on narrowed range of stimuli or events. Usually, attention is likened to a filter in an information-processing model of memory the filter screens out most stimuli, while allowing a select few to get by.
Which part of the memory process is most affected by attention?After gathering information, the attention funnel feeds it into the brain's short-term storage bucket. This is where new information is first held. Experts call this process “encoding.” This is also where the brain manipulates new information so it's useful. This process is called “working memory.”
