Question

Sunita’s concentration in her studies was interrupted by the songs on the radio played loudly by the neighbors. So this is a description of which aspect of attention?

Hint:

Reducing distractions boosts concentration and improves task performance.

Answer 1

This scenario illustrates divided attention, where Sunita's concentration is interrupted by an external distraction. Divided attention occurs when a person needs to split their focus between different stimuli, which often results in decreased efficiency in the main task.
