Question

the ability of the brain to pay more attention to one sensory channel than to others is:
selective attention.

a difference threshold.

extrasensory perception.

inattentional blindness.

Explanation:

• Selective attention is defined as the brain's ability to focus on one sensory channel (or stimulus) while ignoring others.
• A difference threshold refers to the minimum difference between two stimuli that can be detected.
• Extrasensory perception involves perceiving information without using the known sensory channels (like seeing or hearing), which is not related to focusing on one sensory channel.
• Inattentional blindness is the failure to notice a visible object because attention is focused elsewhere, not about prioritizing one sensory channel over others.

So the correct option is the one related to focusing on one sensory channel.

Answer:

A. selective attention.
