Psychology
Determinants of Attention
In Class 11 Psychology, this topic from “Sensory, Attentional and Perceptual Processes” explains why some stimuli attract attention while others are ignored. Students learn about external determinants such as intensity, size, contrast, movement, novelty and repetition, along with internal determinants including needs, motives, interests, emotions, habits and mental set. The topic helps learners connect selective attention with everyday experiences such as classroom learning, conversation and responding to changes in the environment.
