Explanation:

1. Selective attention is the process of directing our awareness to relevant stimuli while ignoring the irrelevant. For example: when you pay attention to a professor in a class or doing your homework. A distraction defined by the Cambridge dictionary is “the state of being bored or something that prevents someone from giving their attention. For example, cellphones are a distraction when you are in school. Divided attention is when you perform two tasks at the same time. For example: when you watch a movie with subtitles or watch the tv while eating. Attentional capture is when an irrelevant item that is unique in some way affects the time to detect a target. For example: trying to find a seat at the cinema even though your friend is waving at you and you don’t notice. Scanning is reading a text quickly in order to find specific information. For example: A DMV employee needs to scan your information to get the details necessary.

2. The procedure consisted in turning down a volume of either one of the 4 sources that were available; or attenuate 3 in order to attend the fourth one. In the process they found that the participant could process the meaning of attend messages. Also, participants could still be able to identify the context of unattended messages; indicating they could identify both attended and unattended messages. The cocktail party effect is when you focus on a single speaker in any environment, even though the voice is surrounded by other noises. It demonstrated the capability of the human being to understand a speech if they really focus; listening to it and leaving all the distractions behind.

3. The broadbent’s model wanted to see how people were able to focus their attention (selective) by deliberately overloading them with stimuli. One of the ways was to send a message to one ear and a different message to the other. It is called the early selection model because it was one of the pioneers of creating a model who uses selective attention.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

House of Representatives

Senate

Explanation:

For the purpose of checks and balances as well as to promote adequate deliberation and responsiveness in Congress, the U.S. Constitution grants somewhat different powers to its two chambers. For example, all appropriations bills must begin in the House of Representatives , while Presidential appointments to the Supreme Court and diplomatic posts must be approved by the Senate.

The House of Representatives constitutes the lower house of the United States of America, while the Senate constitutes the upper house of the country. The national legislature of the country is constituted by these two Houses.

describe an item that would help this geologist make better observations about the rocks while in the field?

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

"They use several different methods.

1. Dating the things found with the fossil.

2. Checking what kind of fossils are in the same layer of sediment. (index fossils)

3. Checking changes to the atoms in the rock.

Here is some information from a good web site:

Paleontologists use many ways of dating individual fossils in geologic time.

* The oldest method is stratigraphy, studying how deeply a fossil is buried. Dinosaur fossils are usually found in sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rock layers or strata are formed episodically as earth is deposited horizontally over time. Newer layers are formed on top of older layers, pressurizing them into rocks. Paleontologists can estimate the amount of time that has passed since the stratum containing the fossil was formed. Generally, deeper rocks and fossils are older than those found above them.

* Observations of the fluctuations of the Earth's magnetic field, which leaves different magnetic fields in rocks from different geological eras.

* Dating a fossil in terms of approximately how many years old it is can be possible using radioisotope- dating of igneous rocks found near the fossil. Unstable radioactive isotopes of elements, such as Uranium-235, decay at constant, known rates over time (its half-life,which is over 700 million years). An accurate estimate of the rock's age can be determined by examining the ratios of the remaining radioactive element and its daughters. For example, when lava cools, it has no lead content but it does contain some radioactive Uranium (U-235).

Over time, the unstable radioactive Uranium decays into its daughter, Lead-207, at a constant, known rate (its half-life). By comparing the relative proportion of Uranium-235 and Lead-207, the age of the igneous rock can be determined. Potassium-40 (which decays to argon-40) is also used to date fossils.

The half-life of carbon-14 is 5,568 years. That means that half of the C-14 decays (into nitrogen-14) in 5,568 years. Half of the remaining C-14 decays in the next 5,568 years, etc. This is too short a half-life to date dinosaurs; C-14 dating is useful for dating items up to about 50,000 - 60,000 years ago (useful for dating organisms like Neanderthal man and ice age animals).

Radioisotope dating cannot be used directly on fossils since they don't contain the unstable radioactive isotopes used in the dating process. To determine a fossil's age, igneous layers (volcanic rock) beneath the fossil (predating the fossil) and above it (representing a time after the dinosaur's existence) are dated, resulting in a time-range for the dinosaur's life. Thus, dinosaurs are dated with respect to volcanic eruptions.

* Looking for index fossils - Certain common fossils are important in determining ancient biological history. These fossil are widely distributed around the Earth but limited in time span. Examples of index fossils include brachiopods (which appeared in the Cambrian period), trilobites (which probably originated in the pre-Cambrian or early Paleozoic and are common throughout the Paleozoic layer - about half of Paleozoic fossils are trilobites), ammonites (from the Triassic and Jurassic periods, and went extinct during the K-T extinction), many nanofossils (microscopic fossils from various eras which are widely distributed, abundant, and time- specific), etc. "
