When people attend to certain stimuli available in the environment while filtering out others this is called Selective attention.
It means focusing or paying attention on selected aspects of the environment by blocking out of others. In other words we can say it is a process which allows an individual to select and focus on particular input for any further processing while simultaneously suppressing irrelevant information.
