Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Treisman's attenuation theory of attention is often demonstrated through the dichotic listening task, where participants receive different auditory messages in each ear and are asked to focus on one. This setup shows how people can process multiple streams of information, with some not fully reaching conscious awareness but still being attenuated or weakened rather than entirely blocked.
