AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In psychology, parallel processing is the ability of the brain to simultaneously process incoming stimuli of differing quality. Parallel processing is associated with the visual system in that the brain divides what it sees into four components: color, motion, shape, and depth.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Continuous Performance Test (CPT) is a widely used measure of sustained attention, which may rely on the efficiency of cognitive inhibition. We examined the relationships of age and sex with CPT performance among 341 randomly selected school children 6-15 years of age.

Detailed explanation-3: -Selective attention: the focusing of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus. Also known as the cocktail party effect. Inattentional blindness: failing to see visible objects when our attention is directed elsewhere.

Detailed explanation-4: -The aspects involved in consciousness include the level of consciousness and also the content of consciousness. In the past, consciousness was thought to emanate from the frontal hemispheres of the brain, but current research has found that the content of consciousness mainly originates from the hindbrain.
