KembaraXtra-Psychology - attenuation theory
Attenuation theory (in attention) refers to models proposing that unattended information is still processed, but less deeply than attended information, with an “attenuating filter” reducing rather than fully blocking processing. The approach was proposed in 1960 by Anne Treisman (born 1935) and relates to the cocktail party phenomenon, filter theory, and selective attention, and is contrasted with bottleneck accounts.
