"Attention" refers to the extent to which mental processing and mental activity is devoted to specific stimuli.
Explanation:
Attention allows us to plan or preview and monitor and regulate our thoughts and actions. Attention is the first step in the learning process. We cannot understand, learn or remember that which we do not first attend to. Attention is the behavioral and cognitive process of selectively concentrating on a discrete stimulus while ignoring other perceivable stimuli. It is a major area of investigation within education, psychology, and neuroscience.
