Experiments 2 and 3 suggested that in the paradigm in Experiment 1, subjects were unlikely to have been able to pay focused attention to the uncued stimuli.
Nevertheless, since establishing that subjects did not pay focused attention to the uncued stimuli was central to Experiment 1, we decided to further investigate this issue.
The results of Experiment 2 suggested that in the paradigm from Experiment 1, subjects were unlikely to have been able to pay focused attention to the uncued stimuli.
In addition, students must pay focused attention to and practice extensively with several layers of knowledge: factual (terminology), conceptual (categories), procedural (skills, methods, and criteria), and metacognitive (self-knowledge; Ericsson et al., 1993; Anderson et al., 2001).
If subjects indeed paid focused attention to the uncued locations, they should be able to discriminate between red green and greed red disks when these are placed in the uncued diagonal.
To anticipate, we found that subjects were at chance at identifying the colored disks when simultaneously performing the task from Experiment 1, but they were able to identify the disks when they paid focused attention to them (without doing a concurrent task).
To anticipate, we found that the subjects were able to identify the motion direction of the colored dots when they paid focused attention to them; however, when subjects were simultaneously engaged in the main task from Experiment 1, performance for the colored dots fell to chance level.
These authors report that question about "prices in general" and "prices you pay" focus respondents more on personal price experience and since these may be driven by prices of different goods over time the answers may be less comparable than the ones prompted by an "inflation" formulation.
pay, focussed on boards of directors' pay awards inflated by compensation consultants, aspirational peer studies, and the karmic belief in high C.E.O.
Current discussion of variable pay focuses on variable pay plan design mechanics, with insufficient attention given to contextual variables that may affect variable pay plan design.
