Question

Suppose you are in your kitchen writing a grocery list, while your roommate is watching TV in the next room. A commercial for spaghetti sauce comes on TV. Although you are not paying attention to the TV, you "suddenly" remember that you need to pick up spaghetti sauce and add it to the list. Your behavior is best predicted by which of the following models of attention? a) Object-based b) Early selection c) Spotlight d) Late selection

Answer 1

Answer:

d) Late selection

Explanation:

The answer is late selection.

Selective attention in us helps in directing our awareness or mind to the relevant stimuli while ignoring the stimuli that are not so important to us at the present time.

Thus when preparing a list of grocery list in the kitchen, my mind suddenly remembers to add spaghetti sauce to the list when a commercial ad for spaghetti sauce comes on TV in the next room.

This behavior oh mine shows Late selection models of attention.

Thus the answer is Late selection.
