Attentional Resources Focused and Divided 2
- Channels (How they are defined):
- Within a channel information is processed in parallel, that is, at the same time.
- In different channels information must be processed sequentially, that is, one after the other.
- A major unit that defines a channel is space
- Location defines a channel for both audition and vision.
- In shadowing, it is harder to do if both voices come from the same side.
- In vision, depth can also define a channel (Neisser and Beckman, 1975).
- Pitch may also define a channel for audition.
