CONCEPT
involuntary attention
results when the conscious mind changes focus to sudden changes in the environment (big sound, intensity of light, unique situation etc.). The person is not prepared for the attention and the attention is not under control of the individual. The persons attention is less concerned with motives, interests, and needs and the stimulus is usually more important than any functional factors.
