Sensation is the neurological process by which we become aware of our environment. You are at a crowded and noisy party and are trying to focus on the conversation you are having with a friend. Your ability to do this while mostly ignoring the flood of other information coming into your senses is known as:

Selective attention is the process of fixing one's attention on a particular object or information while ignoring other surrounding distractions. Selective attention allows an individual focus on a relevant stimuli for a certain period of time while tuning out of an irrelevant stimuli in one's surrounding.
