Treisman's attenuation theory suggests that instead of completely filtering out unattended stimuli, the mind attenuates or reduces the strength of these stimuli during processing. Deutsch and Deutsch, on the other hand, proposed that all information is processed to the level of meaning before the selection occurs, meaning that no information is attenuated or weakened in the early stages of processing.
