This is at the crux of my problem, really.

It's not, precisely, the "Intense World" theory--but I find when receive stimuli from multiple sources, I tend not to integrate the "whole" very well. It seems "intense" because it's "all coming at me at once." It seems like an "intense world" to me when this happens.

I would bet that some elements of the "Intense World" theory fit right into this notion.

This is why I have trouble teaching a class full of kids, but don't have much trouble tutoring one person.
