It mentions that cognitive psychologists have alternately conceived of attention as a filter that selects some stimuli over others and as a spotlight that enhances a distinct area. Critics have also noted the mock-heroic's cultivation of split awareness and its elevation of the trivial in ways that reach beyond satiric irony.
