1. Which aspect of attention is not controlled voluntarily?

1. Top-down sensitivity control
2.  Bottom-up filtering for salient stimuli
3. Competitive selection
4. Working memory

2. Direction (selectivity) is a component of attention to:

1. External objects
2.  Internal memories
3. Both A and B
4. Neither A nor B

3. Is conscious attention necessary for encoding external stimuli into memory?

1. Yes, but only for social stimuli
2. Yes, but only for nonsocial stimuli
3. No, objects can be selected at early or late stages of perception
4. No, objects can always be encoded without conscious attention

4. In the brain, where and across what time span does face perception take place?

1. In the FFA, instantaneously
2. In the FFA, over the entire time course of perception
3. In a distribution of brain regions, instantaneously
4. In a distribution of brain regions, over the entire time course of perception

5. Adults with baby-like faces are:

1. More likely to be perceived as guilty of crimes
2. More likely to be perceived as innocent of crimes
3. Likely to be perceived as weak and unintelligent
4. Likely to be actual babies

6. Why do angry faces appear to “pop out” from an array of different faces?

1. Angry faces are more salient than other faces
2. Angry faces are more vivid than other faces
3. Angry faces are more likely to be outgroup faces than ingroup faces
4. Facial features appear larger in angry faces than in other faces

7. What are the most central traits inferred spontaneously from faces?

1. Race and gender
2. Age and physical attractiveness
3. Trustworthiness and dominance
4. Emotion and intelligence

8. What are some symptoms of depletion that one experiences as a solo (i.e., the only one of one’s own “kind”)?

1. Talking too much
2. Disclosing too little
3. Being arrogant
4. All of the above

9. If you wore a red shirt while everyone else in the room was also wearing a red shirt, what property would you have?

1. Salience
2. Vividness
3. Both A and B
4. Neither A nor B

10. If typical priming effects did result from showing a prime after the stimulus, then what might we conclude about priming?

1. Priming does not necessarily operate through accessibility at encoding
2. Priming may operate through enhanced retrieval processes
3. Both A and B
4. Neither A nor B

11. In the long run, which primes exert the strongest influence on cognition?

1. Frequent primes
2. Recent primes
3. Automatic primes
4. Both A and C

12. Which evidence supports a Gibsonian perspective?

1. People usually disagree on the “breakpoints” that separate an event into distinct perceptual segments
2. People usually agree on the “breakpoints” that separate an event into distinct perceptual segments
3. Perception is heavily influenced by the perceiver’s own goals
4. Perception is heavily influenced by dispositional attributions

13. Which is a reason why neither ecological nor cognitive approaches can be seen as exclusively correct?

1. Both approaches are theoretically impossible to disprove
2. Cognition and perception are difficult to disentangle in practice
3. Characteristics of stimuli and perceivers vary on different scales
4. All of the above

14. What is a primary difference between top-down and bottom-up processing of stimuli?

1. Automaticity
2. Inference
3. Encoding
4. Sensitivity

15. Which of the following is the best example of early selective attention?

1. Stimuli that are presented subliminally cannot be recalled by active memory
2. People do not unconsciously encode stimuli they find aversive
3. People obligatorily detect and encode faces, even if they do not recognize them
4. Voluntary control can affect working memory
