Abstract

Attention has been regarded as the guardian of consciousness. This guardian has several modes of operation, e.g., attention that is guided by external sensory inputs (bottom-up activation) and that which is maintained by internal goals (top-down intention). Attention can be widely dispersed or focused on a single, narrow task. Attention can also be shared between two tasks to some extent, or switched from one focus to another, often more quickly than the eyes can move. One purpose of attention is undoubtedly to maintain a type of alertness for interesting or salient information, such as abrupt changes in the periphery, to which focal attention might be directed. Another purpose of attention is to satisfy one’s need to maintain focus on the task at hand and prevent unwanted intrusions. Clearly, there are trade-offs between attention’s dual roles of preventing interference yet enabling us to respond to important environmental or internal changes that might require a shift of focus. In this way, we should be capable of processing information free from interference when possible, yet also be able to respond appropriately to new information when necessary. The current review covers theories of attention that address its purpose, its limits, and the neurological processes that enable us to perform many tasks relatively effortlessly and successfully despite our individual limitations and the demands of a complicated and variable environment.
