Document Summary

Donald broadbent is one of the major contributors to the information processing approach. In a situation of air traffic controllers during war there are competing messages from departing and incoming aircraft. The controller finds that he can only deal effectively with one message at a time and has to decide which is the most important. Found that people made fewer mistakes repeating back ear by ear and would usually repeat back this way and the results led him to produce this filter model of how selective attention operates.

Showed that information presented to the unattended ear is processed enough to provide the listener with some awareness of its meaning. Proposed that most of the incoming information is processed to the level of meaning before the message to be further processed is selected.
