Question

If many gauges have indicators pointing to the right, but one is pointing down, you notice the odd one at once, regardless of how many other gauges are present. What directs your attention?
a. A top-down process.
b. A pre-attentive process.
c. A random process.
d. An attentive process.

Answer 1

Answer:

b. A pre-attentive process.

Explanation:

You have a number of gauges. All but one indicators are pointing to the right. In this case pre-attentive processing causes us to evaluate multiple information sources of one kind (that is, indicator pointing to the right). Post this ,the attention is directed to the gauge pointing in the odd direction which becomes intuitively evident as being the odd one out.
