Question

One of the following is an example of a variable duration foreperiod:

		A sprinter improving his anticipation skills by practicing the addition of variable times between the beginning of the warning signal and the firing of the starter gun with some catch trials
		A swimmer during practice started off with a 5 second period between the onset of the warning signal and the firing of the starter gun, and increased that period by 10 seconds every trial without using any catch trials
		A baseball player used a pitching machine that fires a ball every 10 seconds
		All of the above are examples of using variable duration Foreperiods

One of the basic concepts in the study of attention is that our attention is selective. This means that:

		We can attend to only one thing at a time
		There's an attentional capacity that we cannot exceed
		We can't do more than one thing at a time
		We can freely shift our attention from one task to another

In a game of tennis, a player's ability to anticipate that the ball is about to hit the left service box based on the position of his opponent's forearm is an example of:

		Temporal anticipation
		Spatial anticipation
		Perceptual anticipation
		Effector anticipation

Answer 1

Answer

According to the given question-

(1)Variable duration is a time period where the behaviour for a particular things are performed regulalarly and continuously for a longer period of time.

Considering the options of this question the correct answer will be the A sprinter improving his anticipation skills by practicing the addition of variable times between the beginning of the warning signal and the firing of the starter gun with some catch trials.

(2) Attention is a cognitive process where we need to concentrate for a particular information but at the same time we also have to ignore the other information that we can observe.

Considering this information for this question the correct answer for the given question will be we cannot do more than one thing at a time.
