Question:

A strength of the cognitive approach?

Author: (Pippa) Pippa Holloway



Answer:

-There is supporting evidence for the 2nd key assumption -Seen in Simons and Chabris' experiment of 'Gorillas on our midst', only 54% of 192 observers noticed the gorilla walking across the screen -Supports the 2nd assumption seeing as schemas make shortcutes within the brain as they try and process the infromation of counting the passes made on the team, this allows the brain to omit other sensory infromation, leading to perceptual errors. -Increases the internal validity of the key assumption
