To pay attention to an object, a person or an activity is to have interest in them. Mc Dougall has very cogently said, "Interest is latent attention and attention is interest in action." It is the interest which determines one's attention. Interest is always hidden in the act of attention. Hope it will help u!!!

Answer:

Mc Dougall said this line

Explanation:

There is a close relationship between attention and interest. The person's attention is also focused on what he is interested in. The thing on which we start paying attention, our interest starts arising in it.

According to McDougall, "Interest is covert meditation—and meditation is active interest."

Thus psychologists say that in order to concentrate on a subject or object, it is necessary to generate interest in it. Thus, there are three main theories regarding interest and attention- 1. Attention is based on interest 2. Interest is based on attention 3. These two are two sides of the same coin.

According to Crow, “Interest is the driving force that drives us to pay attention to a person, thing, or action.” Whether we are interested or not, we tend to differentiate or differentiate things. Determine your likes or dislikes. Interest is both innate and acquired.
