In this example, Janice is focused on her daughter's soccer game. Suddenly she notices a bright flash and loud boom that indicates a thunderstorm and she involuntarily shifts her attention to this flash and sound, we can see that <u>her attention was involuntarily directed towards the flash and sound because they were bright and loud, interrupting her attention on the game</u>. Thus, this is an example of attentional capture.
