Broadbent’s filter model
Donald Broadbent based the development of the filter model from findings by Cherry, which was concerned with the issue of selective attention.[1] Broadbent was the first to describe human’s processing system using an information processing metaphor [2] In this view, Broadbent proposed an early selection view of attention, such that humans process information with limited capacity and select information to be processed early.

Anne Treisman (1960) reformulated Broadbent’s Filter Theory into what is now called the Filter-Attenuation Theory
