Question

Sarit is at a bar full of music, chatter, and laughter. He gets involved in an interesting conversation with a woman named Mona, and he tunes out all the background noise. Sarit's friend, Karen, taps him on the shoulder and asks what song just played on the jukebox. Sarit says he doesn't know, even though he is sitting right next to the jukebox and is familiar with popular music. This illustrates the role that ________ plays in what is sensed versus what is perceived.
(a) Attention
(b) Friendship
(c) Habit
(d) Mood

Answer 1

Answer:(a) Attention

Explanation:

Attention refers to the behaviour and cognitive way of focusing on one object or subject exceptionally whilst blocking everything else out.

Attention makes you keep out everything else either information or sensation and perception which seems not to matter at that moment and put all your focus energy into that one specific information that is vital to you at that moment .

Sarit is attracted to Mona and everything else seems to not matter at this moment because he wants to focus all his energy to her and probably get all her attention also in return.
