Question
Write an answer to the following question based on an example only in a word:
Saloni can easily pay attention to 7 to 8 stimuli at a glance. She can also remember the pin code of the post office easily. This description of Saloni’s behaviour is related to which aspect of attention?
Solution
Span of attention
Explanation:
The span of attention can be described as the total number of stimuli that we can become clearly aware of in a single glance. Our span of attention is very limited. For a normal adult, the span of attention varies between 7 to 8 digits or alphabets. This is the reason why digits in postal pin codes or vehicle numbers are never more than this limit of 7 to 8 digits. The factors like age, intelligence, practice, experience, habits, etc. may affect the span of attention. For example, due to practice, the span of attention of a telephone operator or a typist may be greater than that of an ordinary individual.
