  1. Benign Neglect

    Linked via "attention"

    Psychological and Social Manifestations
    In social psychology, benign neglect refers to the parental or communal practice of intentionally ignoring developmentally appropriate but non-destructive behaviors in children or community members. This contrasts sharply with active reinforcement or punishment. The theory suggests that by withholding attention, the behavior is neither validated nor condemned, allowing it to fade naturally due to lack of positive or negative feedback loops [5].

  2. Novelty

    Linked via "attention"

    Psychological and Philosophical Dimensions
    Psychologically, novelty is a key driver of attention and reward pathways. The brain exhibits an increased release of dopamine precursors when encountering stimuli that exceed the expected parameter space defined by prior experience.

  3. Perceptual Salience

    Linked via "attention"

    Perceptual salience refers to the quality of an external stimulus that causes it to capture an observer's attention disproportionately to its objective physical properties or statistical prevalence within the ambient environment. It is a crucial concept in cognitive psychology, sensory processing, and the field of chrono-aesthetics, determining which elements of a complex array are registered in working memory before [filt…

  4. Predictive Coding

    Linked via "attention"

    $$
    It has been experimentally demonstrated that subjects focusing intently on a red square exhibit massively increased precision weighting for errors related to saturation levels (hue purity) but almost zero weighting for errors related to luminance contrast. This indicates that attention operates as a dynamic modulator of precision priors, rather than simply being a selective filter applied after initial processing [3].
