Discussion
Which of the following sequence is correct, with respect to early selection theory ?
Answer: A
The correct sequence is Registration by senses → Filtering → Unattended information static → Designated information processed.
In Broadbent's early selection (filter) theory, all incoming information is first registered briefly in a sensory store. A selective filter then passes one channel on the basis of physical features such as location or pitch; the unattended information is held but goes no further and soon decays, while the selected information is processed for meaning.
Filtering cannot come before the senses have registered the input, and the filter must operate before the unattended information is left unprocessed, which rules out the other orders.
