- Just as in the orienting reflex, abrupt-onset or intense stimuli can cause covert orienting, that is, they capture attention. For example, abruptly-appearing letters on a computer monitor capture attention and are responded to faster than are gradually-appearing letters (Jonides & Yantis, 1988; Yantis & Jonides, 1984).

Introduction. Capturing attention used to be easy. How it was: How it is today: Today, it’s pretty tough. So I read hundreds of journal articles to answer the question: What captures attention? This guide explains the 9 stimuli that capture attention. Why Do Certain Things Capture Attention? Three key factors: 1) We're surrounded by a lot of stuff.
We define attention as "the set of evolved brain processes that leads to adaptive and effective behavioral selection." Our emphasis is on understanding the biological and neural mechanisms that make the behavioral properties of attention possible.
Apr 16, 2020 · This review starts by providing an overview of how attention is conceptualized in the neuroscience and psychology literature. It then covers several use cases of attention in machine learning, indicating their biological counterparts where they exist.

How, now, does one capture attention? There are a number of basic considerations. In the first place, suppose one tries to hold one’s attention immovably to a dot on the wall. It is quite impossible. The eyes insist upon wandering. In fact, if the attention is held for very long, there is every likelihood that one will induce in oneself a state of ...
It is not, let us repeat, mere movement which captures and holds attention. It is dramatic movement. It is movement towardssomething; but also, it is movement which cannot in all its details be predicted. The movement which can be infallibly predicted soon bores us. In front of one of the dance halls in New York is an electric figure of a man and w...
But it is not enough to get attention. A rowdy can do that. What kind of attention do we wish to attract? Our minds are like vibrating strings. If the A string on my violin is set to vibrating, it will set A vibrations going in my piano. If one comes to an audience with gloom on his face, one can hardly expect to arouse much pleasant anticipation. ...
The canvasser rings the doorbell. The door is opened by a suspicious lady-of-the-house. The canvasser lifts his hat. “Would you like to buy an illustrated History of the World?” he asks. “No!” And the door slams. House to house canvassing is perhaps the lowest estate to which man can fall; nevertheless in the above there is a psychological lesson. ...
Our chief object in capturing attention, as we have indicated, is to “start something going” in the listener or beholder. Here is a pamphlet on “Habit Training for Children.” It asks questions: “Does your child fuss about his food?” “Is your child jealous?” “Does your child have temper tantrums?” Suppose these questions had been put in the form of ...
Little need be said about the very real effectiveness of having something to offer that is new. The new psychology, the new education, new schools, the latest styles, the newest plays. To indicate at once that what one is offering is not antiquated, or out-of-date, or already-well-known is to have at the start a strong hold on the attention. And ye...
Here is a small grocer. He is industrious, honest, painstaking; but one suspects he will never be anything but a small grocer. There are a number of reasons why. The most obvious is this: his windows and store are plastered over with all manner of signs. Special sales of this; so much dozen for this; best brand of that. The grocer has not learned t...
With that admonition–“Respect the attention limits”–we close this chapter, lest we ourselves overstep the very rules we have laid down for others. It will be a worthwhile enterprise for the reader to take the suggestions developed above and watch in how far they are observed in lectures, sermons, writings, parental admonitions, pedagogical techniqu...
In contrast, the color cue captured attention at short and long SOAs, but only with a color target. The overall pattern of results corroborates our hypothesis, suggesting that different mechanisms are at work for stimulus-driven capture (by onset) and contingent capture (by color).
At other times an individual’s attention is “captured” by an unexpected event rather than voluntarily directed toward it. Attention has to do with the immediate experience of the individual; it is a state of current awareness.
