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.

Attention in the context of this type of search task refers to the level of sustained attention or vigilance one can maintain.

He found that people select information on the basis of physical features: the sensory channel (or ear) that a message was coming in, the pitch of the voice, the color or font of a visual message.

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 understanding is vital as attention deficits affect educational and workplace performance, making it a key topic in psychology. Historically, philosophers like Joan Luis Vives and William James laid foundational thoughts on attention, which later evolved into scientific inquiry with experimental methods.

Key points include the influence of salience on selection and the importance of visual and aural stimuli, needs, interests, and expectations. Information organization relies on patterns of proximity, similarity, and difference, while interpretation uses schemata based on past experiences and knowledge.

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.
