Psychological knowledge points of teacher recruitment examination: types of attention

The knowledge points of attention type mainly investigate the forms of objective questions in Shaanxi special post examination, and most of them are examples to ask candidates to choose which type of attention is. Therefore, when reviewing, on the one hand, we need to deeply understand the concept of each kind of attention, on the other hand, we need to accumulate some examples.

First, let's look at the concept of attention:

Attention is the direction or concentration of psychological activities or consciousness on an object. According to the degree of purpose and will, it is divided into the following three categories:

1. Unintentional attention

Also called unconscious attention, it is an unconscious attention to something without a predetermined purpose, will or effort. For example, when the teacher was in class on Christmas Day, suddenly a Santa Claus pushed open the door and walked into the classroom. At this time, the students couldn't help looking at Santa Claus. At this time, Santa Claus caught the students' unintentional attention. Unintentional attention is a low-level form of attention, not only for humans, but also for animals.

Although unintentional attention happens naturally, it doesn't happen for no reason.

The situations that cause unintentional attention are:

(1) objective conditions: the characteristics of the stimulus itself. Including novelty, intensity, movement changes and the difference between stimulus and background. Freshness and novelty are more likely to attract our unintentional attention.

(2) Subjective conditions: namely, the state of people themselves. Including people's needs and interests in things, positive emotional attitude, personal emotional state and mental state, personal mood and subjective expectations. For example, things that are of personal interest are more likely to attract our unintentional attention.

pay attention to

Also known as casual attention, it refers to purposeful attention that requires will and effort when necessary. For example, students will know that the purpose of listening to this course is to pass the final exam when listening to the abstract and difficult advanced mathematics class, so they will continue to listen carefully even though it is difficult to be abstract. At this time, students use intentional attention.

The situations that attract attention are:

(1) Define the purpose and task of the activity, for example, the teacher clearly tells the students the goal of this class before class;

(2) Eliminate the interference of irrelevant stimuli, such as organizing the class well when the teacher is in class and eliminating the influence of some irrelevant stimuli on students;

(3) cultivate indirect interest in things, that is, cultivate students' interest in the purpose or final result of the activity.

3. Pay attention after your heart

Also called casual attention, it is a kind of conscious attention without will. Intentional attention is an advanced form of attention, which is developed on the basis of intentional attention and produced after intentional attention. It is often aimed at a skilled skill. For example, if we are very skilled in cycling, we can ride a bike without holding the handle. At this time, we use intentional attention.

Cultivate conditions for intentional rehabilitation:

(1) The key to cultivating intentional afterthought is to cultivate direct interest in activities;

(2) Skilled and systematic.
