Attention involves focusing awareness on a narrowed range of stimuli or events. The human brain can effectively handle only one attention-consuming task at a time… when people are multitasking, they are switching their attention back and forth, they are NOT processing two tasks at the same time.

Serial-position effect occurs when the beginning and ending information of a list are more easily recalled than middle information. Serial-position effect influences how people remember your offers, products, and words. A way to protect against this is to spend extra time studying information in the middle of a list.

What is “multitasking”? the performance of more than one task at the same time. When a person’s attention is divided, one’s brain is switching back and forth between tasks rather than distributing attention among all the tasks at the same time.

Both factors affect sustained attention. Among the intrinsic capacity limitations, two of the most significant factors are processing speed and memory. Processing speed is an important determinant of capacity because it influences the amount of information that can be processed per unit of time.

Sustained attention i.e., concentration is influenced by sensory modality, clarity of stimuli, temporal uncertainty and spatial uncertainty. Basically attention is a preperceptive process which depends upon individuals interest, motivation and the nature of stimuli.

11 Factors Influencing Taste Perception

• Age. Taste discrimination tends to decrease with increasing age.
• Meals. Sensitivity is reduced for between one and four hours after a meal, depending on what the meal included.
• Hunger.
• Smoking.
• Obesity.
• Pregnancy.
• Temperature.
• Adaptation.

However, taste perception and taste sensitivity vary among individuals. Age, gender, genetics, nutritional knowledge, health status, and culture are the possible factors that might affect the taste perception and sensitivity of the individuals (Asp, 1999; Rurik, 2006).

What is the most important factor in choosing a food supplier? It has been inspected and complies with local, state, and federal laws.
