Research by Anne Treisman has demonstrated that
a. focused attention produces many more errors than distributed attention.
b. in focused attention, an unusual stimulus appears to pop out from the other stimuli in the display.
c. illusory conjunctions are especially likely when people perform a task at a leisurely rate.
d. when people use focused attention, they typically perceive a figure whose shape is linked with its appropriate color.
Question 2
Suppose that you are looking at a flower garden containing dozens of yellow tulips and one red tulip, which seems to stand out conspicuously. According to Anne Treisman's theory, the explanation for this phenomenon is that
a. you probably searched all the tulips serially.
b. focused attention drew your attention to the one discrepant feature.
c. you automatically processed some featuressuch as the color of the flowerduring distributed attention.
d. you were searching for a conjunction of two properties.
A mast cell, which produces the symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction.
Crossing over produces new allelic combinations
Mixing bacterial genotypes produces rare recombinants
Faulty outlooping produces lambda phage containing bacterial DNA
