Answer to Question 1

In selective attention, we choose to attend to some stimuli and ignore others. Focusing our attention helps us execute other cognitive processes, such as verbal comprehension or problem solving. Vigilance refers to our ability to attend to a field of stimulation over a prolonged period, during which we seek to detect the appearance of a particular target stimulus of interest.

Answer to Question 2

Attention is the means by which we actively select and process a limited amount of information from all of the information captured by our senses, our stored memories, and our other cognitive processes. Attention includes both conscious and unconscious processes and allows us to use our limited mental resources judiciously.
