Additionally, in early childhood memory strategies, memory accuracy, and autobiographical memory emerge. Early childhood is seen by many researchers as a crucial time period in memory development.

The failure to notice a fully visible object when attention is devoted to something else. The ability to select certain stimuli in the environment to process, while ignoring distracting information. A task in which the individual is asked to repeat an auditory message as it is presented. The ability to process information for meaning when the individual is not consciously aware of that information.

(This a continues to be a challenge today for TSA agents, charged with looking at images of the contents of your carry-on items in search of knives, guns, or shampoo bottles larger than 3 oz.) Attention in the context of this type of search task refers to the level of sustained attention or vigilance one can maintain.

Video: Try this test to see how well you can focus on a task in the face of a lot of distraction. What are the implications of processing all ignored information fully, even if you aren't consciously aware of that information? What are the public policy implications of current evidence of inattentional blindness as a result of distracted driving?

While some people claim to multitask efficiently, research indicates that dividing attention often impairs performance. A study by Spelke et al. showed that extensive practice might allow some to manage two complex tasks simultaneously, but it's not universal. The dangers of multitasking while driving, especially with cell phones, are highlighted.

Subitizing is the ability to recognize small numbers of objects quickly, often through recognizable patterns. It contrasts with broader theories that are less precise but cover more phenomena. Treisman???s model relates to divided attention, proposing that unattended information is not entirely blocked but attenuated, allowing meaningful information to pass through.

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.

It references William James' description of attention as a focused and controlled consciousness, suggesting a limited capacity for processing information. The text distinguishes various forms of attention studied in psychology, such as sustained, divided, and spatial attention, often related to task-based scenarios.
