==Treisman's Attenuation Model==

==Treisman's Attenuation Model==

This theory states that the mind does not block other information, but that it instead limits information, but lets through important information.

Triesman's attenuation model is a similar theory to that of Broadbent, but it has one exception. Rather than completly blocking "irrelevant" information, Triesman proposes that the mind merely reduces the scale of the information. This attenuation is similar to having water running through two faucets. Triesman proposes that one conversation in the party example would be like having one faucet completly open (the primary conversation) and your name being the second faucet (you recieve it, but you miss the rest of the conversation.) In a nutshell, this theory states that the mind does not block other information, but that it instead limits information, and lets through important information.

==The Deutsch-Norman memory selection model==

==The Deutsch-Norman memory selection model==

This model states that a second selection process occurs in the process of receiving information. This mechanism chooses select items to go into short-term memory and our consciousness.
