do you have a selective attention?have you ever been at a noisy party and yet managed to hear someone at the other end of the room mention your name?
what you experienced is known as the "cocktail party effect" - the ability to pick a personally relecant stimulus out of a complex environment.
to cognitive psychologists, this phenomenon shows that people are selective in their attention. to the social psychologist, it also shows that the self is an important object of our own attention.
