ATTENTION II

 

   You probably have read that attention is the concept of taking notice of someone or something. This knowledge is very shallow about attention because when considering the subject of attention, there are many factors to consider. Attention is a vital process in learning as it involves a major part of the action of learning. In studying concepts like this various things have to be considered; whilst attention is a process of retaining information then we should ask, how does the process happen, how does a person shut the voice of so many things around and focus on just a subject, in the process of this how then are distractions managed, on the long run, after focusing to information, does this informations get processed in the brain, if yes how?, If No do they escape and every effort gets wasted, and many more you can ask in your heart.

         Whilst you might think attention is just a cognitive process, it is also a behavioral process of actively processing specific information in the environment whilst turning out others. There is huge fish presented to you but not all part of it is useful so you have to chunk out the useless part and present the useful one. You must have heard that your brain has a huge capacity but it's not capacious enough to give attention to a thousand detail at the same time this will rather lead you frustration and less productivity which most people result in. Attention is limited both in terms of capacity and duration which is why it is important to master how to effectively manage resources available in other to be productive and make good use of your time. Have you ever spent a lot of time trying to figure something out (it could be an academic book, a piece of information from a source, or just anything) and it seemed like as you are retaining the information they keep bouncing back to where they are coming from. This is because your attention is not well coordinated to get the pieces of information to your memory
