Would this be a better example of spotlight theory of attention or attenuation theory?

Question

I was focusing on asking someone an important question. When I asked the question, I failed to noticed that a dog was barking. I later realized the dog was barking. I believe this would be an example of spotlight theory because it involves me choosing to attend to a specific detail, asking a question, while still noticing the periphery. The cognitive processing is enhanced for the topic I have spotlighted, but I can still recall the periphery information later.

Or would this be attenuation theory because this information is still there, it is just harder to recover?
