To achieve the aims of the research, the researchers chose the research sample from the professors at the University of Babylon, according to the simple random method, from six faculties, two humanities and four scientific faculties, and applied Thomson equation to extract the sample size. With a proportional distribution, a selective attention measurement tool was applied to the research sample according to the theoretical framework and the definition of Strobe and his tool for measuring selective attention, which consists of four tasks with (80) test items that were applied using tablets to the research sample. Search for the following results: There are no statistically significant differences according to the gender variable, and there are statistically significant differences according to the specialization variable in favor of the scientific specialization in light of this, the researchers came up with a set of suggestions and recommendations
