Participants hear 2 simultaneous verbal messages (one in either ear) Told to pay attention of one of the messages attended channel. Some information from the unattended ear is remembered: participants could recall if there was speech, musical instruments etc. Also found that information in the unattended ear could pull your attention: words with personal significance, ex: if it said your name or a movie you recently saw. We filter out unimportant information from incoming stimuli to shield us from potential distractors. Our ability to see what"s around us is dramatically diminished in the absence of attention: ex: car accidents, the bike came out of nowhere! .
