DURATION and Degree of Attention
1. Fluctuation of Attention:
It appears for us that our attention can be concentrated on a
particular thing or object or person for more time. But careful
observation clearly shows that we cannot concentrate on a single
thing or stimulus for more than few seconds.
(kisi chej pe focus karna, then kuch der baad attention koi aur chej
pe lagna, then kuch der baad wapas pehle wale chej pe
concentration wapas aajana)
2. Distraction of Attention:
When our attention is concentrated on a particular act or stimulus,
some other more powerful stimulus may draw our attention and
holds it to remain there for more time.
3. Division of Attention:
Attending to more than one act at a time is known as division of
attention.
4. Span of Attention
Span of attention is the amount of time that a person can
concentrate on a task without getting distracted.
