What reading level is The Essentials of Psychology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These conditions may be first deter- mined for attention to external stimuli, although the results hold for all selection.
Objective Conditions of Attention. — The circum- stances in the outer world that favour the entrance of a sensation are to be foimd in the amount of energy exerted by the stimulus upon the sense-organ. The amoimt of energy expended ma,y be due to the intensity of the stimulus, to its duration, or to the area of the sense-organ affected, (i) An intense sound such as an explo...sion, a bright light, a strong odour, will force them- selves upon attention, however much one may desire to attend to something else. (2) Similarly a large object will be seen where a small one might escape notice. (3) Up to a certain point, too, the greater the duration of a stimulus, the more likely it is to enter consciousness.
Beyond that, greater duration leads to neglect; one attends and passes on to something else, and the stimulus is no longer appreciated. This is but another way of stating that change is more important than absolute intensity or extent in determining the course of attention.
