However, there are certain individual factors that may make a person more or less sensitive to stimuli than the average person. An obvious example is someone who has worked in a noisy environment for many years and is suffering from noiseinduced hearing loss.

Any distraction should be immediately followed up with rechecking the situation, for example reassessing where you were in the task before the distraction occurred. For any in-flight distraction, particularly a technical malfunction, before selective attention is brought to bear on the problem, checking the flight mode annunciators may reduce the risk of not noticing a major change in the situation because of change blindness. 2 Sustained attention (passive monitoring/vigilance) Sustained attention is our ability to focus on a particular section of the environment in order to ascertain whether any relevant changes occur that might require our intervention.
