Clay has played professional soccer for seven years and is easily able to tune out the sound of the crowd and all other irrelevant sensory information during the game. bruce is a rookie and is often distracted by what his opponents are saying and the mood of the crowd. clay and bruce are showing differing levels of:
(a)- selective attention
(b)- alternating attention
(c)- divided attention

The correct answer is (a)

Explanation:

Selective attention is a psychological term that refers to the ability to focus on one task and filter out all other irrelevant sensory information.

Clay displays a greater level of selective attention, because he's easily able to tune out the sound of the crowd and focus only on the game. On the other hand, Bruce has a lower level of selective attention, because he can't discriminate what he should be focusing his attention on, and it's often distracted by his opponents and the crowd.

Selective attention can be increased and developed, usually by attaining greater skill on whatever task one is focusing on.
