What to Focus On

  • Attention is selective focusing on one stimulus among many.
  • It enhances alertness, vigilance, signal detection, and search ability.
  • It acts as a survival mechanism by helping detect threats.

  • Selective attention filters out distractions.
  • Divided attention reduces efficiency due to limited mental capacity.
  • Sustained attention is crucial for long tasks like exams.

  • External factors relate to the stimulus properties.
  • Internal factors depend on the individual’s mental and physical state.
  • Both types work together to shape what we notice.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Divided attention means doing two things equally well at the same time.

Perception is the same as sensation.

The span of attention and attention span are the same thing.
