Answer to Question 1

Answer: c

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Our environment contains a host of objects that we must interact with. These objects can capture our attention. When our attention is focused on an object, all parts of the object are processed. This phenomenon is known as object-based attention. The idea of object-based attention is supported by behavioral and neuroimaging studies as well as findings from brain- damaged patients. For instance, patients with hemispatial neglect from a right hemisphere lesion are good at detecting object on the right side of space but poor at detecting objects on the left side of space.
