I grab the cell phone and (try to) use it to turn up the volume on the TV. What kind of action slip is this?
 
  a) description error
   b) associative activation error
   c) capture error
   d) loss of activation error

Question 2

The notion of capacity as limiting attention has been criticized for being circular in nature. This means that
 
  a) the notion of capacity can explain most findings from studies of attention.
   b) the notion encompasses both early- and late-selection theories,
   c) limited capacity is used as an explanation of attentional difficulty, and attentional difficulty is used to show evidence of limited capacity.
   d) it explains our ability to respond to the multiple stimuli that surround us.

Question 3

Olive and Kellogg (2002) had third-graders and college students write persuasive essays. After writing them, they then simply transcribed them.
 
  At the same time as these tasks, participants had to listen for auditory probe.
   Probe reaction time served as a measure of attentional cost for transcribing and writing. The findings indicated
   that:
   a) adults incurred more attentional cost than children for both transcribing and writing than did children.
   b) attentional costs overall were higher for transcribing than for writing.
   c) adults devoted more attention to writing than transcribing, but children did the opposite.
   d) all participants incurred more attentional cost when they were writing vs. when they were transcribing.
