Selective Attention










The ability to focus on relevant aspects of the environment and to disregard irrelevant aspects. [Piaget]

[NOTE: Unevenness in Development. Some researchers claim that cognitive growth does not occur in stages all at once, as each individual possesses a number of abilities, each at different levels of development. Within each stage there are gradual and transitional changes which occur at different times depending on the particular abilities (Flavell, 1985).]
