Answer:

selective attention            

Explanation:

Selective attention: It refers to the process to focus on a specific object present in the surrounding environment for a particular time.

As a result of attention holding a limited resource, selective attention allows a person to tune out or ignore unimportant information and ultimately focuses on important information. The frontal lobe in the brain is responsible for selective attention.

Example: A person states that something was playing over there but I couldn't hear it because I was doing something else at that moment.
