In the 2007 piece (that was read in class), highlighted the aspects of hyper attention and deep attention and explaining the importance of knowing the difference, which one you were and the affects that lay with them. The professor said that hyper attention was a ‘defective behaviour that scarcely qualifies as a cognitive mode at all’. And that deep attention is rather the educational setting for kids to throughly learn. With each “theory” there came some pros and cons. When i read the piece the only question i had was, how can you identify what truly is hyper and deep attention. Since if you are writing and reading, and texting and talking, this is clearly hyper attention. But if you are reading a novel and concentrating at a beach, you can still hear music thats being played, the waves crashing, people talking around you, and general behaviour. Whilst your brain is seeing these actions and things around you, your central cortex may be decreasing them to a lower volume or cancelling your peripheral vision or blurring the figures.  Can this also be called hyper, because you are still making sure of whats happening around you incase of danger and problems and you are actually doing more than one thing at a time, but you make yourself believe that you are only doing that one thing, (which is deeply concentrating on this book). If you went into this deep deep deep attention where you couldn’t hear anything at all and was only looking at this book. Is this good learning? Is it good to not know whats happening around you? And this be a type of learning that could be a dangerous? Ask yourself that.
