ABSTRACT
Hopefully, the title of this chapter has managed to catch your attention. Or are you distracted by the noise in the street or by your worries about your adolescent children’s disastrous school results? Whatever the source of distraction might be, these phenomena bring us to the core of this chapter, namely to the problem of selective attention. We all know from our daily experience that our mental attention may be disturbed by external stimuli or from the inside: by inner thoughts and worries.
