The phrase "peripheral attention" is grammatically correct and is commonly used in written English.
It is used to refer to attention that is not complete or direct. For example: "I gave the presentation only peripheral attention, as I was distracted by the constant buzzing of the overhead light."
Although the storm could hardly be construed as a blessing, it has made real to those who otherwise might have just been paying peripheral attention, the labyrinthine dimensions of lives spent in poverty.

Studies show that good peripheral attention is a hallmark of a good driver, at least in senior citizens.
We consider here the possibility that enhanced peripheral attention may result in better or worse performance depending upon the task demands.
Some of the studies referenced above have included hearing native signers, and have suggested that sign language use is not sufficient to induce enhanced peripheral attention [20] [22].
The possibility remains, however, that a combination of early auditory deprivation and visual-manual language acquisition are required to bring about the observed changes in peripheral attention in deaf native signers.
However, it is still possible that altered peripheral visual attention and scrutinizing strategy for faces may interact to produce the differential scan paths.
This first experiment establishes the role of auditory deprivation in the enhancement of peripheral visual attention noted in the deaf population.
In contrast, as we explore here, deaf individuals may excel on tasks that require differentiating task-relevant from task-irrelevant information when this selection relies on peripheral visual attention.
Third, it is doubtful that patients with PCA's pattern of performance can be attributed to a deficit in peripheral spatial attention, one that might underlie a restriction in the effective visual field (Russell et al., 2004, 2013).
In two of these 11 patients, the adverse events were considered related to atomoxetine by the physician (one patient with vomiting and one patient with peripheral vasoconstriction, attention disturbance, fatigue, dizziness, abdominal pain and feeling of absence).
