What does this finding reveal about selective attention

Reference no: EM13340193

There is a cost to expectation-based priming, revealed by the fact that priming the wrong detector leads to slower responding. That is, getting prepared for one target seems to hinder performance for other targets. What does this finding reveal about selective attention?

Selective attention is a limited-capacity system.

Selective attention is an unlimited-capacity system.

Expectation-based priming is more effective than stimulus-based priming.

The cost of priming is inevitable.
