Subjects were told to attend to one game and ignore the other. The two games were not distinguished by location or modality, but only by their intrinsic structure. The cycle of anticipation, exploration, and information pickup that Neisser discussed is similar to concepts of schema guided action, and this is inherent in the interaction between the intellect and the screen of the mind. The intellect guides thought direction, and the mind is the screen on which schemes are projected. One of the other levels of mind that guides and directs attention is feeling.
Feelings are the full range of affective states that an individual can experience.
It is often recognized that purely rational components of thought are inadequate to explain the process of attentional selection. In Maharishi's Vedic Psychology, feelings and desires are critical components of thought. These inner levels act as coordinators of the outer levels. They control the size and direction of the flow of attention. The actual evidence that these inner levels play a role in mental functioning comes from many experiments.
