If a bug lands on the paper you are reading, you automatically attend to the bug because of
Select one:
a. enduring disposition
b. momentary intention
d. the Yerkes-Dodson law
Solution
1.Geons are the simple 2D or 3D forms such as cylinders, bricks, wedges, cones, circles and
rectangles corresponding to the simple parts of an object in Biederman's Recognition-by-
components theory. The theory proposes that the visual input is matched against structural
representations of objects in the brain. These structural representations consist of geons and their
relations. The correct answer is a sphere (option a).
2. Divided attention occurs when mental focus is on multiple tasks or ideas at once. Also known
as multitasking, individuals do this all the time. Examples are singing along to a song while
driving, having a conversation while walking, or listening to music while grocery shopping.
Option c is the correct answer.
