Abstract	This study highlights the span of attention of B.Ed. trainees with meaningful non-meaningful words. The researcher tested 98 B.Ed. trainees from a college in Purba Medinipur district, West Bengal. Primary data on span of attention were collected with help of an instrument called the Tachistoscope. This tool shows an image for a very short time (1/10th of a second), and the trainees must recognize the image in that brief moment. Student's attention levels were measured by their ability to identify the image. Data analysis was performed using MS Excel. The results showed that B.Ed. trainees were better at recognizing meaningful than non-meaningful words. The mean of meaningful word recognition was 67.24%, and the mean of non-meaningful word recognition was 46.53%. This finding suggests that previous knowledge helps students recognize words because the brain can identify familiar, meaningful words more easily than unfamiliar, meaningless words.
