Read the following passage and answer questions from 96 to 100:
For more than three decades, cognitive psychologists have been developing
a perspective on the way individuals routinely cope with sensory
information: information-processing theory. It is actually a large set of
diverse and disparate ideas about cognitive processes and provides yet
another way to study media audience activity. Researchers work to
understand how people take in, process, store, and then use various forms
of information provided by media. Drawing on the same metaphors as
systems theory, information processing theory uses mechanistic analogies to
describe and interpret how each of us takes in and makes sense of the flood
of information our senses encounter every moment of each day. It assumes
that individuals operate like complex bio-computers, with certain built-in
information-handling capacities and strategies. Each day we are exposed to
vast quantities of sensory information. We filter this information so only a
small portion of it ever reaches our conscious mind. Only a tiny fraction of
this information is singled out for attention and processing, and we finally
store a tiny amount of this in long-term memory. We are not so much
information handlers as information avoiders – we have developed
sophisticated mechanisms for screening out irrelevant or useless
information. Our capacity to cope with sensory information is easily
overwhelmed so that we make mistakes by failing to take in and process
critical information. Cognitive psychologists make an important distinction
between cognitive (or information) processes and consciousness. Much of
what takes place in our brain never reaches our consciousness. Although this
activity often affects our conscious thoughts, it does so only very indirectly
through its influence on other cognitive processes. Our consciousness acts as
a supreme overseer of this cognitive activity but has very limited and
typically quite indirect control over it. This perspective on cognition is
contrary to what most of us would like to assume about our ability to control
what goes on in our minds. It contradicts our personal experience, which is
largely based on what conscious reflection is able to reveal to us. When we
watch a televised news report, we have the sense that we are getting every
bit of useful information from it that is there. But recent research finds that
only a fraction of the original information reaches us, even when we pay
close attention. We get distracted by compelling pictures and waste precious
cognitive resources processing them while important auditory information is
missed.
96. What is the new perspective of cognitive psychologists?

(1) A re–look at audience
(2) Different study of media audience
(3) Detachment of media audience from media
(4) Rejection of media audience theory
Answer: (2)
97. What does information processing theory use to describe the
sensory perception?
(1) Systems theory
(2) Disparate ideas
(3) Cognitive processes
(4) Mechanistic analogies
Answer: (4)
98. Where does the distinction between cognitive processes and
consciousness occur?
(1) It occurs in information handlers
(2) It occurs in information avoiders
(3) It occurs in the brain of the receiver
(4) It occurs in sophisticated machines
Answer: (3)
99. According to the passage, what did the recent research find?
(1) A part of the original information reaches us
(2) The consciousness fails to act
(3) It contradicts our assumptions
(4) Sensory information is adequately processed
Answer: (1)
100. While processing information, what do we miss?
(1) Pictures
(2) Smell
(3) TV news report
(4) Auditory information
Answer: (4)
