Attention is the concentration of awareness directed at some task or phenomenon while mostly excluding others. [1] Across disciplines, the nature of this directedness is conceptualized in different ways. Attention can help us focus our awareness on a particular aspect of our environment, important decisions, or the thoughts in our head.

Context Explanation

Attention is awareness of the here and now in a focal and perceptive way. For early psychologists, such as Edward Bradford Titchener, attention determined the content of consciousness and influenced the quality of conscious experience.
