Perception is the ability to make sense of our surroundings, whereas attention is the ability to concentrate on any perceived stimuli. A link between perception and attention comes from an individual’s ability to choose which stimuli to allocate their attention towards.

This shows that once diagnosed with this patients have already been known to not do this task well, and this is where the question of if they are damaged from the start and if it worsens as the disease progresses. They looked at patients who had been hospitalized for the
psychologists have focused their efforts in understanding access consciousness, or how information carried in conscious mental states is available to different cognitive processes. This is linked to attention and working memory. However, consciousness is difficult to quantify and hence most pieces of research study consciousness by contrasting the characteristics between conscious and unconscious processes. Although with some limitations, research has provided
