Implicit Encoding Explored Through the Flankers Task

Jaclynn V. Sullivan '12 et al. — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 14:35:00 PDT

We examined the process of selective attention and its relation to implicit and explicit memory encoding. To further understand the mechanisms behind selective attention, we asked if implicit learning of irrelevant information is encoded differently than explicit learning. We used the flankers task to examine selective attention. This task involves responding to a center item (i.e. the target), while ignoring the irrelevant flankers. Participants completed the correlated flankers task as well as implicit and explicit memory tasks. The correlated flanker effect is the decreased reaction time on the trials in which the flankers that are correlated with the correct response are present versus uncorrelated trials (Miller, 1987). Results were contrary to what we expected and reasons as to why this occurred are discussed. Opportunity for participation in discussion is welcome.

Searching for Tolerance: A Closer Look at IWU Hillel

Katelyn Scott '13 et al. — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 14:35:00 PDT

This poster presentation demonstrates how I used participant observation, interviewing, and collaborative visual ethnographic methods to gain insight into what it is like to be a Jewish student at Illinois Wesleyan University. This poster highlights three pertinent issues that members of IWU Hillel want to convey: their lack of a sacred space of their own on campus, the various ways Jewish identity can be experienced and expressed, and how non-Jewish students relate to their Jewish identity and towards Judaism in general. This presentation allows members of IWU Hillel to have their voices heard and to further educate other students at IWU about their beliefs with the hope of bringing a greater degree of religious tolerance to campus.
