The three main differences between psychiatrists and psychologists are:
-
Psychiatrists are medical doctors, psychologists are not.
- Psychiatrists prescribe medication, psychologists can't.
- Psychiatrists diagnose illness, manage treatment and provide a range of therapies for complex and serious mental illness. Psychologists focus on providing psychotherapy (talk therapy) to help patients.

A number of theories have been developed to explain the process of selective attention. The three of these theories are:
- Filter theory:
- This theory was developed by Broadbent (1956). According to this theory, many stimuli simultaneously enter our receptors creating a kind of "bottleneck" situation.
- Moving through the short term memory systems, they enter the selective filter, which allows only one stimulus to pass through for higher levels of processing, other stimuli are screened out at that moment of time.
- Thus, we become aware of only that stimulus which gets access through the selective filter.
- Filter-attenuation theory: This theory was developed by Triesman (1962) by modifying the Broadbent, theory.
- This theory proposes that the stimuli not getting access to the selective filter at a given moment of time are not completely blocked.
- The filter only attenuates (weakens) their strength. Thus some stimuli manage to escape through the selective filter to reach higher levels of processing.
- It is indicated that personally relevant stimuli (e.g. one's name in a collective dinner) can be noticed even at a very low level of sound.
- Such stimuli, even though fairly weak, may also generate response occasionally by slipping through the selective filter.
- Multimode theory: This theory was developed by Johnston and Heinz (1978). This theory believes that attention is a flexible system that allows selection of a stimulus over others at three stages:
Stage one: - The sensory representation (e.g. visual images) of stimuli are constructed;
Stage two: - The semantic representations (e.g. names of objects) are constructed;
Stage three: - Sensory and semantic representations enter consciousness. It is also suggested that more processing requires more mental effort. When the messages are selected on the basis of stage one processing (early selection), less mental effort is required than when the selection is based on stage three processing (late selection).

Development is a process that creates growth, progress, positive change or the addition of physical, economic, environmental, social and demographic components.
The cognitive changes that take place in a developing child are as follows:
-
0-2 years: This is the age of sensory motors whereby, infant explores the world by coordinating sensory experiences with physical actions.
-
2-7 years: In this age, Preoperational thinking begins and the child acquires the concept of object permanence that enables him/her to use mental symbols to represent objects. The child does not have the ability to judge or assume the consequences of actions before performing them.
-
The child also acquires preoperational thought, i.e., s/he gains the ability to mentally represent an object that is not physically present.
-
The children are egocentric and develop animist thought
-
4-7 years: Children develop intuitive thought. This enables them to question the things happening around them.
-
7-11 years: This age is marked by the development of concrete operational thought, whereby a logical thought is developed and the child can reason logically about concrete events, classify objects into sets and perform reversible mathematical operations.
-
11-15 years: The adolescents in this age develop formal operational thought, which leads to hypothetical thinking and is able to apply logic abstractly. They also develop a special kind of egocentrism of imaginary audience and personal fable.
