Selective Attention Revisited I know that I’ve talked about the psychological phenomenon of selective attention. It’s a natural part of human cognition that forms the basis for a lot of biases we experience in our day to day lives. I haven’t studied the relationship between selective attention and political polarization, but I think that would be a worthy avenue of research. Affective political polarization takes up a lot of cognitive load when it is activated and that cognitive load is often directed at motivated cognition processes.

Cheers for the shoutout, Christian!
Looking forward to your response to Alec's essay!
