Attention (cont.)
Yeah right, but I bet there’s not one of you (me too) who hasn’t had the experience of “reading” several pages of text only to discover that in this case reading meant running your eyes over the words without any comprehension of the meaning of those words.
And, perhaps you’ve had the experience of sitting in a lecture only to discover that the professor is on a completely different topic from the one that she or he was on when you “tuned-out”.
Or have you ever practiced some skill while being completely on “auto-pilot” allowing your mind to wander?
