Attention

Attention

Discriminative responding based on some stimulus or stimulus property. An organism is said to attend to a stimulus or stimulus property when variation of that stimulus or stimulus property changes behaviour (e.g., a pigeon discriminating blue light from its absence is said to attend to colour rather than brightness if variations in wavelength but not intensity change its performance).
