keeping up with my shows
With school and work its becoming increasingly hard to keep up with television shows that I like to watch. Gossip Girl, House, 90210, Hellcats, Gilmore Girls, thank goodness for eztv.it, so that when I come home from school I can catch up on episodes I might have missed the night before because I was swamped studying. For those of you who are unaware, eztv.it is a website that lets you download television shows, it has a wide variety of shows (basically everything!) and you click the download link and then 'save as' onto your computer, it will then directly open/begin downloading in your uTorrent so make sure you have that program downloaded to begin with. Happy Watching!
Broadbent's Filter Teisman's Attenuation and Norman's Pertinence
- the auditory mechanism acts as a selective filter, it can be tuned to focus on one message
- only one message pases on through the filter at a time, into the limited-capacity decision channel
Treisman's Attenuation Theory
- used shadowing task
- could distinguish between messages
- rejected the early selection notion
- all incoming messages receive come analysis
therefore more than one message can go through at a time.
and then Norman's Pertinence Model which described how our attention is guided by 2 factors which are 1) sensory and 2) pertinence. If we are in a room and there is loud music playing (sensory) then we are going to focus mainly on that. If someone asks us a questions, the answer to it increases in importance (pertinence) therefore we are able to retrieve the information from our long term memory and answer the question.
So after all this what I make of it is, Broadbent came around and looked at how we pay attention to things, he then established his model and view which claimed that we can only focus on one message at a time, only one message can go through the filter. Then Treisman said no, and experimented to see how we give some analysis to multiple incoming messages, therefore proving that more than 1 message can pass through the filter at a time. Then Norman further investigated how we message what messages to pay attention to, why is one thing that we hear, more clear to us or has more of our focus, than another message? Its because of sensory and pertinence factors, whatever is loudest or most important at that moment is going to be what we focus on.

Psychology Woes
Studying for my midterm tomorrow, cognitive psychology, its humorous that i'm learning about study methods, memory, and the act of studying-while i'm studying. Wish these text books came with the flashcards already made, takes so long to read the book, listen to the lecture, cover your notes, make flash cards, and then attempt to store the information in your long term memory. Here comes some excessive repetition.

The truth is she has a nice face. I need to think of something to help me take my mind off her. Easy enough, except I need an idea.
I’m a little intoxicated, I’m not goona lie. So what if it’s not even 10PM and it’s a Tuesday night? The Kirkland facebook is open on my desktop and some of these people have pretty horrendous facebook pics. Billy Olsen’s sitting here and had the idea of putting some of these girls’ faces next to pictures of farm animals and have people vote on who’s hotter. Good call, Mr. Olsen! I think he’s on to something.

Next is Elliot. They’re also open but with no indexes on Apache. I can run an empty search and it returns all of the images in the database in a single page. Then I can save the page and Mozilla will save all the images for me. Excellent. Moving right along.
First up is Kirkland. They keep everything open and allow indexes in their Apache configuration, so a little WGET magic is all that’s needed to download the entire Kirkland facebook. Kids’ stuff.
Yea, it’s on. I’m not goona do the farm animals but I like the idea of comparing two people together. It gives the whole thing a very Turing feel since people’s ratings of the pictures will be more implicit than, say, choosing a number to represent each person’s hotness like they do on hotornot.com. The first thing we’re going to need is a lot of pictures. Unfortunately, Harvard doesn’t keep a centralized public facebook so I’m going to have to get all the images from the individual houses that people are in. Let the hacking begin.

Erica Albright’s a bitch. You think that’s because her family changed their name from Albrecht or because all B.U. girls are bitches? Folks, for the record, she may look like a 34D, but she’s getting all kinds of help from our friends at Victoria’s Secret. She’s a 34B, as in barely anything there. False advertising.someone’s drunk and blogging…
I’m really not a bad person.
