Moray: Research Method - correct answer Laboratory Experiment
Moray: Experimental Design - correct answer 1. Repeated Measures
2. Independent Measures
3. Repeated Measures
Moray: Independent Variables - correct answer 1. Dichotic Listening Test, recognition test
2. Instructions prefixed by participants name or not
3. Digits in both messages of only one AND answer question about shadowed message or remember the
numbers
Moray: Dependent Variables - correct answer 1. number of words recognised in rejected message
2. number of affective instructions
3. number of digits recalled
Moray: Sample - correct answer Undergraduates and research workers
2: 12 3: 28
Moray: Procedure 1 - correct answer short list of simple words in one ear, shadowed prose message in other. Words repeated 35 times. Reported rejected message. Given recognition test, material in neither list or passage as a control. Gap between shadow and recognition - 30 seconds.
Moray: Procedure 2 - correct answer Participants shadowed ten short passages. Responses recorded, told aim was to make few mistakes possible. Some passage instructions were interpolated. Half participant's instructions prefixed with their name.
130 words/min. Moray: Procedure 3 - correct answer Two groups shadowed one of two simultaneous dichotic messages.
In some, digits were interpolated. The positions of the numbers varied. One group asked about content of shadow, other remembered numbers.
Moray: Results 1 - correct answer Mean number of words recognised = 7
Shadowed = 4.9
Rejected = 1.9
No trace of rejected material being recognised.
Moray: Results 2 - correct answer Most ignored instructions.
Affective instructions presented 39 times, heard 20 times
Non-affective presented 36 times, heard 4 times.
Three turned over
Difference between names and no names was significant (3.05)
4/20 names instructions heard, participants changed to other message.
Moray: Result 3 - correct answer In none of the cases was the difference significant at 5% level in the t-
test
Moray: Conclusion - correct answer Almost none of the verbal content in a rejected message is able to penetrate the block set up.
Moray: Conclusion - correct answer Subjectively important message like names can penetrate the block
Simons and Chabris: Research Method - correct answer Laboratory Experiment
Simons and Chabris: Experimental Design - correct answer Independent Measures
Simons and Chabris: Independent Variables - correct answer Transparent/Opaque
