==Broadbent's Filter Model==

==Broadbent's Filter Model==

British researcher [[Donald Broadbent]] was the first researcher to present a hypothesis as to how attention would occur, and how one can focus on specific events. Broadbent’s filter model proposes that the mind blocks out information irrelevant to what one is focusing on, such as, say, ignoring another conversation going on at the same time. This idea has recieved criticism owing to the following situation. Assume that you are at a party, engrossed in conversation with another partygoer, and you hear your name on the side. By all likelyhood, your attention would be diverted, which contridicts Broadbent's theory.

British researcher Donald Broadbent proposed a filter model of selective attention based an a "sensory buffer".<ref>[http://www.simplypsychology.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/attention-models.html http://www.simplypsychology.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/attention-models.html] </ref>

In this view, the mind blocks out information irrelevant to what one is focusing on, such as, say, ignoring another conversation going on at the same time. For example, assume that you are at a party, engrossed in conversation with another party goer. You are able to tune out all other words from other conversations, and yet you can hear your name called out on the other side of the room.
