isolation effects

Isolation effects refer to how focusing attention on certain stimuli or information influences our perception and memory. When we concentrate on specific details, we tend to notice them more prominently, which can make these items seem more significant or distinct compared to their surroundings. Conversely, elements that are less emphasized or stand alone without context may be overlooked or perceived as less important. This phenomenon shows that our perception is shaped by what we pay attention to and how information is presented, affecting our overall understanding and memory of an experience or scene.
