Answer:

Option e: consist of a family of selection mechanisms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Attention

This is simply known as the act o directing one's attention on specific features, objects, or locations or on certain thoughts or activities. It is simply focusing awareness on a narrowed range of stimuli or events

Kinds of Attention

1. Selective Attention

This is simply filtering or directing one's attention of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus, while keeping us from perceiving whatever is not being attended to.

Attentional capture

This is simply a quick shifting of focus usually caused by a stimulus such as a loud noise, bright light, or sudden movement.

2. Overt Attention

This is the simply the act of moving or shifting attention from one place to another by moving the eyes.

3. Covert Attention

This simply happens when attention is shifted without moving the eyes, commonly known as seeing something "out of the corner of one's eye."
