Since attention is limited, it is also selective. A limited attention span cannot give equal attention to all available stimuli. In this example, Nick's attention to his book makes him less likely to notice other, less important stimuli. However, if his chair became uncomfortable, or something sharp was in his slipper, his attention would turn away from his book.
