    Understanding Attention

    • Attention is the cognitive process of selectively concentrating on one aspect of the environment while ignoring other less relevant information.

    Focusing Attention

    • When you focus your attention on a specific object in a scene, your brain filters out irrelevant sensory information and amplifies the relevant signals, enhancing processing of the object's features.
    • This selective focus enables you to perceive the object more clearly, perceive its details, and respond to it more effectively.

    Importance of Attention

    • Attention is crucial for effective perception, learning, and decision-making, as it allows you to prioritize and process relevant information in a cluttered environment.
    • Attention helps to reduce sensory overload, enabling you to focus on critical tasks and make informed decisions.
