Note to moderator: You may omit the word “gorilla” in the first part. In an experiment demonstrating a “blindness” associated with this faculty, subjects selectively apply this faculty while watching a basketball game. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this faculty, a “deficit” in which is a key gorilla symptom of ADHD.

[10m] In the cocktail party effect, these stimuli are registered or ignored based on whether they are relevant. These stimuli are repeated in shadowing tasks.

ANSWER: auditory stimuli [or audio; accept speech or sounds or noises or voices; prompt on words or names by asking “in what form?”]
