Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Automatic processing refers to the ability to process information in a relatively effortless and unconscious manner. This type of processing requires minimal demands on attentional capacity and allows information to enter the system largely without us being aware of it. Divided attention and sustained attention both require more conscious effort and attention, while inhibitory loss refers to a failure to inhibit irrelevant information and is not directly related to attentional capacity.
