We use the term “attention“ all the time, but what

processes or abilities does that concept really refer to?

This module will focus on how attention allows us to select
certain parts of our environment and ignore other parts,
and what happens to the ignored information. A key
concept is the idea that we are limited in how much we
can do at any one time. So we will also consider what
happens when someone tries to do several things at once,
such as driving while using electronic devices.
