Attention Active

Active attention is attention, the emergence and maintenance of which requires the intellectual and volitional activity of the individual.

Active attention differs from passive attention in that its occurrence and maintenance requires targeted intellectual and volitional activity of a person. A person himself chooses the object of attention and deliberately focuses on it, making certain efforts for this.

1. Purposefulness and intentionality (the object of attention is chosen consciously)

2. Intellectual and volitional activity (mental and volitional efforts are required to concentrate on an object)
