Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -How does selective attention direct our perceptions? We selectively participate and process a very limited part of the incoming information, which has too many obstacles and transfers our attention from one thing to another. When we carefully focus on a task, we often show careless blindness to other events.
Detailed explanation-2: -At the alternative extreme, it has been proposed that con-scious awareness is fully determined by selective attention – that we are conscious only of the cur-rent contents of attention. A more moderate posi-tion is that attention modulates awareness, but we have some awareness of unattended stimuli.
