Answer:

Attentional capture

Explanation:

In psychology, the term attentional capture refers to the unintentional focusing of attention. In other words, this phenomenon takes place when attention is involuntarily directed towards a new stimulus based on the characteristics of that second stimulus interrupting our previous focus of attention.

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.
