Attentional bias
(reading time – 40 sec.)

Attentional bias is the tendency for people's perception to be affected by their recurring thoughts at the time.

For example, smokers tend to possess a bias for cigarettes and other smoking-related cues around them, due to the positive thoughts they've already attributed between smoking and the cues they were exposed to while smoking.
