Ep 67. Explore how attention functions beyond simple on/off responses. Learn about the role of novelty and survival instincts in shaping our focus, and discover practical tips for maintaining attentiveness in daily life.
Attention is more than a simple on/off switch—it’s a dynamic process influenced by the novelty and perceived value of incoming information. Whether it’s identifying danger, food, potential mates, or threats, our attention is drawn to stimuli that hold immediate significance.

When information is presented rapidly, our brain’s survival instincts can lead to misinterpretations and mistaken identities, prioritizing rapid responses over nuanced social thinking. This primal response to novelty can also lead to mental fatigue.
