1. Knowledge Analysis

The categories of attention are the test points that are often tested in our exams. The examination methods are very flexible and changeable. They are mainly tested with example questions, including single-choice, Multiple choice and judgment require our full attention.

Attention is divided into: unintentional attention, intentional attention, and intentional attention.

1. Unintentional attention, also called involuntary attention, refers to attention that has no purpose in advance and does not require volitional effort. Notice. Unintentional attention is the primary form of attention, which is not only found in humans but also in animals. Although unintentional attention occurs naturally, it does not occur without reason. The conditions that trigger unintentional attention include subjective factors and objective factors. Among the test questions, objective factors are often tested

The objective factors that affect unintentional attention refer to the nature of the stimulus, that is, the novelty, intensity, and Movement changes, differences between stimuli and background;

A. Novelty of stimuli. The greater the novelty of the stimulus, the easier it is to attract unintentional attention. For example, when walking on the road, it is easier to notice someone wearing Hanfu than a person wearing everyday clothes.

B. The intensity of the stimulus. The greater the intensity of the stimulus, the easier it is to attract our unintentional attention. For example, everyone is in class, and suddenly there is a loud noise outside. At this time, everyone's attention will unconsciously turn to the loud noise outside the window.

C. Movement changes of the stimulus. Moving stimuli are more likely to attract our unintentional attention than stationary stimuli. For example, meteors streaking across the quiet night sky are more likely to attract our unintentional attention.

D. Difference between stimulus and background. The greater the difference between the stimulus and the background, the easier it is to attract our unintentional attention. For example, if there is a little bit of red among the greenery, the red color can easily attract our unintentional attention.

2. Intentional attention, also called casual attention, refers to attention that has a predetermined purpose and requires a certain amount of effort; for example, students who attend class in a drowsy state at noon are intentional attention because they You need to use your own will to control yourself and focus your attention on the class. The conditions that arouse intentional attention include the following: compliance with the purpose and task of attention, compliance with interests, compliance with activity organization, compliance with past experiences, and compliance with personality. Compliance with interest is often tested in exam questions. Interest here refers to indirect interest, that is, interest in the results of activities; for example, some students are able to restrain themselves even in the drowsy middle of the day in order to pass the CET-4 exam. You should concentrate on learning English by yourself.

3. Intentional attention, also called voluntary attention, refers to attention that has a conscious purpose but does not require volitional effort. Intentional attention is a special form of attention and an advanced form of attention. ; Unintentional attention is usually transformed from intentional attention; factors that affect intentional attention include: direct interest and proficiency. For example, when people first start doing a job, they often need a certain amount of effort to keep their attention on the job. However, after they become interested in the job, they can continue to pay attention without any effort of will. And this kind of attention is still conscious and purposeful; or when people reach the level of proficiency in a certain job, they can also reach a state of unintentional attention. For example, an experienced driver can listen to music while driving. At this time, his driving has a purpose, but it does not require any willpower to complete it.
