While autism has been linked to high brain volumes, a lessened ability to use this faculty has been linked to low brain volumes. Lesions to the right temporoparietal junction can cause an asymmetry in mobilizing this faculty, which makes patients draw clocks with all the numbers crammed to one side. Mismatch negativity tests showed that this faculty is only partially controlled consciously. This faculty is assessed using arrows in a task named for Michael Posner. Using this faculty can cause an (*) "inhibition of return." It was modelled for vision as "feature integration" by Anne Treisman. This faculty can cause a "blindness" demonstrated by an experiment involving basketball and a gorilla suit. It can be oriented by endogenous or exogenous cues. Donald Broadbent modelled this faculty as a "filter." A lessened ability to use this faculty can be treated with methylphenidate, or Ritalin. For 10 points, name this faculty of concentrating or focusing.
