What is dual processing?
How does driving a car
involve both conscious
(explicit) and unconscious
(implicit) processing?
• 1.2 Distinguish between processing that is conscious
(i.e., explicit) and other processing that happens
without conscious awareness (i.e., implicit).
Forms of Consciousness

Consciousness, modern psychologists believe, is
an awareness of ourselves and our environment.
Selective Attention
Our conscious awareness processes only a small part
of all that we experience. We intuitively make use of
the information we are not consciously aware of.
Inattentional blindness
Test your awareness
Inattentional Blindness
Daniel Simons, University of Illinois
Inattentional blindness refers to the inability
to see an object or a person in our midst.
Simons & Chabris (1999) showed that half of
the observers failed to see the gorilla-suited
assistant in a ball passing game.
Change Blindness
Change blindness is a form of inattentional
blindness in which two-thirds of individuals
giving directions failed to notice a change in the
individual asking for directions.

• Professor Higgins has been giving unfair quizzes all semester. You
have failed a few and several of your friends are in danger of failing
the class due to poor quiz performance. His quiz items simply do
not correlate well with what was presented in class or what was in
the book. You stop by his office during his office hours to discuss a
problem you have understanding a particular theory. He is not
there, but the door is wide open, and sitting on his desk is a stack of
tomorrow’s quiz. You know that you can improve both your
performance on the quiz and perhaps helps several of your friends
pass the class if you get a look at it.
• What do you do?
• Why?
• What is a real-life moral dilemma you have encountered?

particular conflict falls into the stage.
