Attention is the process of concentrating on a particular object or activity while ignoring other things. It involves focusing one's consciousness. The span of attention refers to how long someone can concentrate on an object before becoming distracted. Several factors can influence attention, including both external factors like size, movement, and intensity as well as internal factors like interests, desires, habits, and past experiences. Distraction occurs when something interferes with one's attention and draws it away from the original object. Common sources of distraction include external noises and stimuli as well as internal states like emotions, fatigue, and lack of motivation.

Attention is the cognitive process of selectively concentrating one aspect of the environment while ignoring other things.
We are particularly attentive to stimuli that appear exceptionally bright, large, loud, novel or high in contrast.
We also pay greater attention to stimuli that are particularly meaningful or are relevant to our motivations.
E.g., If we are hungry ,we are more apt to be sensitive to food and food related stimuli.
It also includes listening carefully to what someone is saying while ignoring other conversation in a room.
Why do we pay attention to something and not to others? What directs our attention?

INTRODUCTION:
Learning, as we know it, can be considered as the process by which skills, attitudes, knowledge, and concepts are acquired, understood, applied, and extended. All human beings engage in the process of learning, either consciously, subconsciously, or subliminally whether grownups or children. It is through learning that their competence and ability to function in their environment get enhanced. It is important to understand that while we learn some ideas and concepts through instruction or teaching, we also learn through our feelings and experiences. Feelings and experiences are a tangible part of our lives and these greatly influence what we learn, how we learn, and why we learn.
Learning has been considered partly a cognitive process and partly a social and affective one. It qualifies as a cognitive process because it involves the functions of attention, perception, reasoning, analysis, drawing of conclusions, making interpretations, and giving meaning to the observed phenomena. All of these are mental processes, which relate to the intellectual functions of the individual. Learning is a social and affective process, as the societal and cultural
context in which we function and the feelings and experiences that we have, greatly influence our ideas, concepts, images, and understanding of the world. These constitute inner subjective interpretations and represent our own unique, personalized constructions of the specific universe of functioning.
Our knowledge, ideas, concepts, attitudes, beliefs, and skills, we acquire, are a consequence of these combined processes. The process of learning involves cognition, feeling, experience, and context. Individuals vary greatly with regard to their ability, capacity, and interest in learning. You must have noticed such variations among your friends and students. In any family, children of the same parents differ with respect to what they can learn and how well they can
learn. For example, a particular child may be very good at acquiring practical skills such as repairing electrical gadgets, shopping for the household, etc., while his brother or sister may in contrast be very poor on these, and good at academic tasks, instead. Even for yourself, you may be perplexed why you can do some tasks well, but not others given the same competence level.
For example, learning the tunes of songs and even their lyrics is often found to be easier than learning a formula or a poem. Do you ever wonder why this is so?

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. Meaning:
Attention is an active part of consciousness.
The activity of concentrating mind on a particular matter is
called attention.
Attention is not possible in the absence of consciousness, but
attention and consciousness are not one.

parts. For example, I am reading at this time. Book, note,
table, chair, etc., all this can be under my consciousness, but
my attention is on the words being read on the paper
