Bell Ringer 1. On a scale of 1-5, how observant would you say you are? (1 being not at all, 5 being extremely) 2. Is it possible to “see” with anything other than your eyes? Explain.

Selective Attention Entry #4 Our 5 senses take in 11 million bits of information per second, but we only consciously process about 40 bits of information per second –This is referred to as SELECTIVE ATTENTION Relates to the concept of signal detection theory: (belief that we distinguish and focus on different sensory stimuli based on their strengths, the setting we are in, our physical state, mood, and attitude.) (from entry #1)

Examples of Selective Attention 1.) Cocktail Party Effect -you can only attend to (listen and comprehend) what 1 person is saying at a time.

Examples of Selective Attention 2.) Inattentional Blindness: failing to see visible objects when our attention is directed elsewhere Gorilla video!

Examples of Selective Attention 3.) Change blindness: people fail to notice that some change has occurred in what they were looking at

Subliminal Stimulation Can we unconsciously sense subliminal stimuli (something below one’s absolute threshold for conscious awareness)??? YES Can we be influenced by these subliminal messages without even knowing??? Not really
