| attention |
A general term referring to the selective aspects of perception which function so that at any instant an organism focuses on certain features of the enviroment to the (relative) exclusion of other features. Attention may be conscious in that some stimulus elements are actively selected out of the total input, although, by in large, we are not explicitly aware of the factors, which cause us to perceive only some small part of the stimulus array.
