Very cool

[@kartheekkumarkothval5791]

Pls start separate wings for every subject... even psychology too. So learners dont waste time, and directly get classes what they want...

[@joshuabarker5770]

is this basically capacity theory? you can divide attention but only to a certain extent?

[@maggymachaba5362]

There is a difference between attention and awareness

[@myatyuwu7303]

What’s the difference

[@corylafonze2169]

@@myatyuwu7303-well for starters you could be aware of something like someone’s behavior towards you or others but your attention is not focus on it . Instead your attention is on something that your interested in focusing on.

[@CK8smallville]

Im not convinced that everyone has this to the same extent. I work in retail. When a customer arrives I focus on that customer and don’t notice the large queue building and so I fail to call for help. None of my colleagues have this problem. They notice the queue, plus other behaviours like accidents, theft etc.

[@MrGoonito]

they are probably not as engaged in the client as you are. When dividing our attention our perceptual capacity(the amount we can pay attention to something) is limited, much like the inability to count the Xs and stars. However, when using our cognitive effort to focus on details of a conversation we use up more of our perceptual capacity to compensate for the high perceptual load(difficulty of the task). This is a similar concept to why people have more accidents on the road when texting or talking on the phone because their capacity to pay attention to either task is limited. Also worth noting that people can have different perceptual capacities. So basically you should get a raise because you're giving customers your full engagement when speaking and helping them solve their problems.

[@lollyhall9784]

individual differences in cognitive capacity is common, and so the amount of attention to be split can also vary

[@happycat7603]

I got 16 stars, 1 circle and 10 red things

[@jooda126]

What is the name of the last study example ? With the bookcase and person asking for directions ?

[@apresdavis]

"🤞🏽🤞🏽♡"

[@cty3825]

Dang i got 14 stars snd 12 xs

[@AlexanderZeisberg]

If attention is focused on a conversation with intention and your name is heard from across the room, why is that not Exogenous? The grandma is an external noise who says something that carries meaning and this makes it not a popout effect but an attention grabing affect that is intentional or endogenous?

[@Ray2311us]

Both Endogenous and Exogenous vary in amounts at different states of the mind and body. At which current stage of where your physiology and psychology lean more towards depends on how weak your body is for example after sex, hunger, and or extreme amounts of exercise. At the higher stages of endogenous the mind and its senses (the body) could still contain lesser forms of exogenous which is why I would agree with you.

[@Ray2311us]

Information is still processed through high amounts of voluntary attention (Endogenous) through the subconscious and lesser amounts of reflexive attention (Exogenous).

[@Ray2311us]

I only know this for males females I cannot say because I've never been one.

[@Ray2311us]

Not females*

[@veritybarton]

The truth: as babies we get all the exogenous but we have to learn and grow to develop our own map of the world to have in idea of what's worth paying attention to. This produces the result of how some people who like roller coasters and some who don't, etc. We've all developed strategies for how to be in the world, based on our experience allowing us to hone in on our endogenous abilities... If people understood this better it would mean the end of anxiety and depression... I wish I could give you all the info in this tiny space but I hope whoever is interested enough to read this comment will continue to research it.... Language is an extra ability and it changes the brain. It's so powerful to reassess what we have let become endogenous and modify our strategies to feel good all the time. Constant commentary connects you with your surroundings, constantly. Know what you have in mind because your R.A.S. will auto focus you. There is always something we are missing to enable us to see things differently.

[@thanasrisrii7419]

Please anyone help : who was founded this divided attention?

[@tdlmeggytdl]

Aren't the three factors that are noticeable through change blindness race, age, and gender? I believe this was proven through Simons and Levin.

[@lollyhall9784]

what year?

[@Theuniverseisours470]

I never saw 15 yellow stars let me tell you why coz I was not paying attention to it. However if I was looking for it I would have seen it.

[@samsmom400]

I couldn't do it. What's that mean????

[@junipertreeb]

When I used my fingers, I got really close.
