The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic01:25

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the $2,000...
Non-Verbal Cues01:29

Non-Verbal Cues

Non-verbal communication extends beyond gestures and facial expressions to include vocal elements known as paralanguage. Paralanguage consists of non-verbal vocal cues such as pitch, loudness, speech rate, pauses, and non-verbal vocalizations like laughter, sighs, and moans. These elements not only accompany speech but also provide critical emotional and contextual information.The Role of Paralanguage in CommunicationParalanguage adds depth to spoken language by conveying emotions and...
Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior01:28

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...
Retrieval01:12

Retrieval

Retrieval is the process of getting information out of memory storage and back into conscious awareness. This ability is essential for daily tasks like brushing hair and teeth, driving to work, and performing job duties. Retrieval occurs in three ways: recall, recognition, and relearning.
Recall involves accessing information without cues, such as during an essay test, where individuals must retrieve facts and concepts from memory unaided. Another example is remembering the name of a colleague...
Tip-of-the-Tongue Phenomenon01:10

Tip-of-the-Tongue Phenomenon

The tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) phenomenon is a cognitive experience characterized by a temporary inability to retrieve specific information from memory despite having a strong feeling of knowing the information. Although individuals cannot access the target word or detail, they frequently recall related elements, such as its initial letter, syllable count, or context. This partial retrieval often causes frustration, as one might recognize a familiar face or know that a name starts with a specific...
Cause and Effect01:53

Cause and Effect

While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Visual Attention

Background:

  • Posner's spatial cueing and Treisman's feature integration theories offer distinct views on visual attention.
  • Understanding the common mechanisms underlying different attentional tasks is crucial for a unified theory of cognition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct a computational model that integrates target and cue information, addressing whether Posner's beam and Treisman's glue represent a common attentional process.
  • To analyze cueing and conjunction search tasks for underlying commonalities in attentional processing.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a computational model integrating target and cue information.
  • Conducting cueing and conjunction search tasks to gather empirical data.
  • Simulating attentional dynamics and search order based on integrated information.

Main Results:

  • The dynamic interaction between target and cue information generates attentional benefits and costs in cueing tasks.
  • Search order in conjunction search is determined by integrated target and cue information, mirroring cueing task dynamics.
  • Simulations indicate that consistency (or validity) is a core computational process shared by both tasks.

Conclusions:

  • Posner's beam and Treisman's glue may be explained by a common computational process involving the integration of target and cue information.
  • Attentional benefits and costs, as well as search order, are consequences of this integrated information processing.
  • Consistency/validity serves as a unifying computational principle across different visual search paradigms.
