The phrase "attention selectivity" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to psychology, cognitive science, or discussions about how individuals focus on specific stimuli while ignoring others.
Example: "Research in cognitive psychology often explores the concept of attention selectivity and how it affects our perception of the environment."
Alternatives: "selective attention" or "attentional selectivity".
The first subtest, Expressive Attention, is a Stroop-like test composed of three items that measures attention selectivity and interference control under time pressure.
To monitor spatial and stimulus attention selectivity, the volunteers were instructed to press a button in response to targets as accurately and quickly as possible, allowing their reaction times (RT) to be recorded as well.
This mesh closely with the view of a predominance in attention selectivity of the left-hemisphere [e.g., [ 67]], in line with the accepted cognitive model of the latter hemisphere having a narrower attention focus and a more analytic attention strategy [ 68, 69].
Instead he wants to suggest that any division we might attempt to draw between perceptual attention and the attentional selectivity required by agency would be an artificial one.
Other recently proposed theories also retain the idea that attentional selectivity is the result of capacity limitations, but do so while retreating further than Lavie does from the picture of attention that Broadbent introduced.
A third group of theories account for attention's selectivity in ways that need not make any reference to limitations in capacity.
In contrast to the evidence favoring a gain-based model of selective attention, increase in neuronal selectivity [17] and shifts in receptive fields towards attended location have been reported in the visual cortex [18].
The most representative examples are presented in each subclass with special attention given to selectivity.
It is because we can process multiple stimuli that we can be distracted by them, and because we can be distracted by them, not because we cannot process them, that we need mechanisms of attention to provide selectivity and focus.
Interestingly, a recent study investigating the effects of attention on spatial selectivity in cat auditory cortex showed that tuning width narrows when a cat attends to sound location (Lee and Middlebrooks 2011).
SD impairs selective attention as evidenced by reduced selectivity in PPA activation.
