What is a high level of attention?

The term 'attention' is used to describe the process of focusing on one or more specific stimuli (meaning something that activates our senses) while ignoring other stimuli that may be present. Attention may be paid to internal stimuli such as thoughts, feelings and memories, or to external stimuli such as sights, sounds or smells. individuals have the ability to choose to focus a high level of attention on a particular stimulus, such as listening to a news item. psychologists call this selective attention. individuals also have the ability to divide their attention between two or more sources of information, such as hearing the phone ring while talking to someone. psychologists call this divided attention. hope that helps :)
