Detailed explanation-1: -Selective attention is required when the visual system is confronted with typically cluttered natural scenes. Neurons at later levels are likely to have multiple stimuli in their receptive fields, some of which would effectively drive the neuron if they were presented in isolation and others that would not.
Detailed explanation-2: -The selective attention definition is the act of focusing on a particular object for some time while simultaneously ignoring distractions and irrelevant information. Selective attention is also known as controlled attention, directed attention, or executive attention.
Detailed explanation-3: -Attention. Attention or attentional control is the cognitive process of selectively concentrating on one aspect of the environment while ignoring other components (Anderson, 2004).
Detailed explanation-4: -Selective attention or executive attention is an endogenous, voluntary and top down process that allows one to choose voluntarily, to ignore stimuli, and to focus on others (Posner and DiGirolamo, 1998; Theeuwes, 2010; Diamond, 2013).
