Which of the following students provides the most complete and accurate definition for the term attention?
 
  a. Josh: Attention refers to a focusing of cognitive processing so that you can concentrate on about seven stimuli.
  b. Maeve: Attention refers to the active process of combining isolated stimuli into a meaningful whole.
  c. Jenn: Attention is a storage component that takes in all possible external stimuli and holds them for several seconds.
  d. Igor: Attention lets you concentrate your cognitive activity so that you can focus on information from your memory and your sensory world.

Question 2

What can we conclude about the two major explanations for speech perception?
 
  a. Humans show categorical perception for nonspeech sounds, which argues against a phonetic module approach.
  b. Humans show categorical perception for nonspeech sounds, which argues for a phonetic module approach.
  c. Humans cannot use visual cues as aids to the perception of phonemes, which argues against a general mechanism approach.
  d. Infants use a general mechanism approach, whereas adults typically use a phonetic module approach.

Question 3

The general mechanism approach to speech perception argues that
 
  a. we first obtain a general idea about a spoken message, and then we fill in the specific details.
  b. we use similar processes for both speech perception and other auditory perception tasks.
  c. learning does not play a major role in speech perception.
  d. children are born with a general understanding about speech, and they fill in specific information as they grow older.

Question 4

Which of the following students provides the best overview about the research on theories of speech perception, as discussed in Chapter 2?
 
  a. Kaitlin: Because speech is important to human survival, people have a specialized brain structure that helps them decode speech sounds.
  b. Anastazia: The research on categorical perception provides the strongest evidence that the special mechanism approach to speech perception is correct.
  c. Samaria: In general, most theorists believe that the human nervous system processes speech sounds in the same way it processes nonspeech sounds.
  d. Jared: The research on the McGurk effect demonstrates that the special mechanism approach to speech perception is correct.
