Definition
- Attention refers to those processes that allow for the selective processing of incoming sensory stimuli, typically those that are most relevant to one's current goals or to the task at hand, or, alternatively, those that have the greatest intrinsic salience or biological significance. Attended stimuli tend to be processed both more thoroughly and more rapidly than are other potentially distracting (“unattended”) stimuli. [Source: Encyclopedia of Perception; Attention: Cross-Modal]
