Site 1: "Colin Cherry" According to the article, what were two things participants commonly failed to do in Colin Cherry's experiment, supporting his claim that we absorb very little information from the conversations we reject or do not attend to? What were two things participants were able to detect concerning the information rejected or unattended to? (Site 1)

Answer 1

The participants did not realize that the messages were not being transmitted in English and thus in German. Furthermore, they did not realize that the messages were being transmitted backwards.

However, they realized that the message was being conveyed using words rather than non-verbal communication. they also realized when the person who spoke the message was a man or a woman.

Step-by-step explanation:

This experiment caused the participants to hear two messages that were being transmitted at the same time, after which the participants should hear each message separately. The goal was to find out what our capacity is to absorb information from messages that we don't understand or that our brain rejects because it is something that we don't know how to decode.
