What to Focus On

  • Human beings have seven sense organs.
  • Five are external; two are deep senses.
  • The seven sense organs register ten varieties of stimuli.
  • AL means the minimum stimulus needed for detection.
  • AL varies across people and situations.
  • AL is measured at 50 per cent detection.
  • Attention selects certain stimuli from many stimuli.
  • Attention includes alertness, concentration, and search.
  • Attention has a focus and a fringe.
