Transient attention is a short-term response to a stimulus that temporarily attracts or distracts attention. Researchers disagree on the exact amount of the human transient attention span, whereas selective sustained attention, also known as focused attention, is the level of attention that produces consistent results on a task over time.

The reflexive mode is a bottom up approach where attention shifts involuntarily based on a stimulus's attention attracting properties. [40]
