For the trivia there was a question saying that the cocktail party effect is an example of what kind of perception and it said the answer was figure ground. Why would it be figure ground? I thought The cocktail party effect was where you can only focus on one conversation at once?
In the cocktail party effect, a person is paying the most attention to one particular voice or conversation (which becomes the figure) among a bunch of conversations (which becomes the ground, or background).
