Everyday Psychology
Selection.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Selection.
There is a mental process spoken Of
in the scientific circles of psychology
as selection" have often wondered
why some psychologist hasn't written
a popular book on this subject, for the
significance of this mental process In
daily life is beyond all calculation,
This mental process called selection
is a part of a larger but no less ia
miliar process called attention. It is, In
fact, the most important factor in all
that goes for attention. Selection does
the work and attention gets the credit.
our everyday descriptions can explain
why some things are interesting to US,
why other things are rnonotonouS.
or course, every one has noticed that
no two people see the same things for
example, when they gaze upon a given
landscape. Nor do they get the same
inspiration, or lack Of it, by listening
to the same opera or the same sermon.
We do not see the same things while
nor do we catch the same details in q
scenario production. There is an indi-
yidual difference here, which we are all
accustomed to regard as q mere matter
OF temperament, perhaps temporary
mood. or even some deep-seated per-
sonality trait. In the olden days 1t was
supposed that some hidden spirit" was
back Of all these differences.
Moving events, passing in review be-
fore us from moment to moment. are
really never interpreted for what they
are. We transform them to suit our
own ways Of selecting this or that as
the important links In the ever-chang-
ing reel of experience. The courts have
long recognized that an eyewitness
isn't worth much, although an individ-
ual Juror may regard the report of an
eyewitness as the very best of evidence.
The fact is that great deal Of what
We hear and see amounts to q series
Of illusions. We attend to what Is go
ing on In jumpy fashion. We. set up
or select some parts, Of the. whole go
.ings-on. as important Then we begin
at once, to fill in the gaps with MEM
cries lof similar events. In, other words,
our lamentations fashion 1t all over into
new forms. We arrive at what Is taken
for q connected experience. ~!
It appears that we never stop TO con-
slider how we build up our supposed
experiences Ordinarily We take no ac-
count Of the process called selection.

The paste must be just well bound, but
not so stiff that it Is tough. Work into

they will fall, and then they are no
longer either attractive or good. If
