Attention- The attention is a process of getting an object clearly before the mind. Attention is a mental ability by which we select one or more object and concentrate our all senses towards stimulus or object. According to McDougall, the attention is a second side of interests, we select an object among many because we feel interest on that. Sometimes our attention depends on type, intensity or movement of stimulus while we do not experience interest on that.

Attention can be divided into two part, one is natural attention and second one is selective attention. The attention depends on various factors like, color, intensity, movement and frequency.
