You are in class listening to the instructor, but the students on both sides of you are having separate quiet conversations. for some reason, you are able to block them out and maintain your focus and attention on the lecture. what skill are you utilizing?

You are utilizing selective attention. True to the name, selection attention is when you select what you are focusing your attention on.
