This is your section to ask questions, reply, and provide feedback about the week prior, class, and program support to help us all grow a class. Be sure your post adds value to the class and is well thought out. If you attended the Blackboard Collaborate Session or Office hours, please state that in the comment section to receive participation points. Feel free to participate via all avenues.
The standards for this section are as follows:
Respect others’ rights to hold opinions and beliefs that differ from your own. Challenge or criticize the idea, not the person.
Listen or read carefully to what others are saying even when you disagree with what is being said. Comments that you make (asking for clarification, sharing critiques, expanding on a point, etc.) should reflect that you have paid attention to the speaker’s comments.
Be courteous.
Support your statements. Use evidence and provide a rationale for your points
Allow everyone the chance to communicate. If you have much to say, try to hold back a bit; if you are hesitant to communicate, look for opportunities to contribute to the discussion.
I DID NOT ATTEND TO BLACKBOARD COLLABORATE SESSION DUE TO WORK SCHEDULE.

​​​​Post at least 3 pictures of objects that you think represent various periods of development. Write a short description of why you think that object represents that specific period of development. When you respond to other students, think about if the object they described as representative of one period of development can also represent another period of development.
(if you have trouble uploading a picture, you can use a description of what object you have chosen, i.e. write “coffee mug” instead of ☕)

Early or Late Selection Theory
In your readings this week, you have learned about different theories regarding how information is selected in attention for further mental processing.

Summarize the article and address the following questions regarding the article in your post:
Is the theory classified as an early or late selection theory?
How might when information is selected for additional processing impact the types of information that take priority from a theoretical perspective?
Do you think there are clear differences between early and late selection theories of attention? Why or why not? What might best differentiate the two types of theories?
