    This document summarizes key concepts from a psychology chapter on sensory, attentional, and perceptual processes. It discusses three theories of selective attention, Miller's Magic Number relating to short-term memory capacity, the difference between focus and fringe in the field of awareness. It also addresses factors influencing selective attention, conditions required for divided attention, sustained attention in monitoring situations like refereeing, top-down processing in making inferences, mechanisms helping with distant vision focus, differences between monocular and binocular cues, definitions of illusions and influences on perception of geometrical illusions including sociocultural factors. Finally, it discusses Gestalt psychologists' contributions to form perception and distinguishing between selective/sustained attention and various processing approaches in perception,

    Case-Based Question

    In a famous study by Simons and Chabris (1999), the researchers made participants watch a short video of
    six people (three wearing white and three wearing black) passing basketballs amongst themselves. The
    participants were tasked with counting the number of times the people in white shirts made passes. The
    researchers also inserted a surprise element into the video: for nine seconds there is a gorilla who comes
    onscreen, thumps his chest and exits the scene. A gorilla! Interestingly, the researcher found that half of
    the participants who watched the video and counted the passes, completely missed the gorilla! The
    Invisible Gorilla study, as it is popularly called, shows us that we actually miss a lot of things even when we
    are paying attention and we don’t actually know how much. Using your understanding of the above case
    and the chapter, please answer the following questions:

    1. The activity that the participants were engaged in is best described as a:


    A) Sustained Attention Task B) Selective Attention Task C) Divided Attention Task -1m
    2. A possible factor for why the participants completely missed the gorilla could be __________________.
    1m
    3. The Gorilla was in the fringe of the participant’s field of awareness. True/False
