Question 17 / 50:  In a study by Intriligator and Cavanaugh, the following graphic was shown,

and subjects were instructed to fixate on the cross while trying to attend to

features of the lines:

What does this display allow us to claim about the attentional system?

A  When looking at the cross, we are unable to attend to the lines, and thus show "change
blindness" to even dramatic changes in the line display.
B  Both the visual system and attentional system are better at processing horizontal lines than
vertical lines.
C  The resolution of the attentional system is not as precise as the resolution of the visual
system.
D  The resolution of the attentional system is more precise than the resolution of the visual
system.
