Average
The class of Professor Green is all about memorization. Attendance is not mandatory because she goes straight off the power point that she will post. However, she does give hints about the exams if you attend the class. Aside from that, she will give a lots of extra credit opportunities. Exam was about half multiple choice and half short answer response. You will get an easy A if you are good in memorizing notes off of power point.

On the electrophysiological evidence for the capture of visual attention
Vince Lollo
John McDonald
The presence of a salient distractor interferes with visual search. According to the salience-driven selection hypothesis
this interference is because of an initial deployment of attention to the distractor. Three event-related potential (ERP) findings have been regarded as evidence for this hypothesis: (a) salient distractors were found to elicit an ERP component called N2pc
which reflects attentional selection; (b) with target and distractor on opposite sides
a distractor N2pc was reported to precede the target N2pc (N2pc flip); (c) the distractor N2pc on slow-response trials was reported to occur particularly early
suggesting that the fastest shifts of attention were driven by salience. This evidence is equivocal
however
because the ERPs were noisy (b
c) and were averaged across all trials
thereby making it difficult to know whether attention was deployed directly to the target on some trials (a
b). We reevaluated this evidence using a larger sample size to reduce noise and by analyzing ERPs separately for fast- and slow-response trials. On fast-response trials
the distractor elicited a contralateral positivity (PD)—an index of attentional suppression—instead of an N2pc. There was no N2pc flip or early distractor N2pc. As it stands
then
there is no ERP evidence for the salience-driven selection hypothesis.
