We can only focus on one stream of information at a time, effectively filtering out other stimuli. This selective attention is exemplified by dichotic listening tasks, where individuals can miss significant changes in ignored audio streams. This cognitive filtering highlights the power and limitations of attention, allowing focus on chosen information but often causing us to miss important signals.

This first-order condition can be expressed more compactly as 0=p−c′(x) where c ′ (x) is the vector of partial derivatives of c.
