Detailed explanation-1: -Divided attention requires more automatic processing than selective attention does. Selective attention requires blocking out all other tasks in order to focus on just one while divided attention requires automatic processing of one task while simultaneously doing another.
Detailed explanation-2: -Divided attention is applicable in the case of automatic processing.
