For three hours, Mr. Greene, 33, did just about everything at the fair except attend to the task at hand.
Finally, within our own fraught region, we should better attend to the tasks of regional institution building.
We observe that the correlation between α and connectivity depends on attentional state; specifically, α correlated more highly to structural connectivity during rest than while attending to a task.
This research has revealed that people may fail to notice various unattended stimuli for example, simple shapes, meaningful objects, words or events (Most, Simons, et al., 2001; Neisser & Becklen, 1975; Rock & Gutman, 1981; Simons & Chabris, 1999)—while attending to a task involving high perceptual load (e.g., keeping a separate count of different types of ball passes).
In addition, a peripheral awareness task is included in which the subject responds to a stimulus presented in the periphery of vision, while simultaneously attending to the tracking task described above.
Put in terms of experiment 1, the participant shifts from attending to the counting and the "herding" tasks to needing to attend to the counting, herding, and tool handling tasks.
Note that it is impossible to do the task properly without attending to the word cue.
The article concludes by arguing that the organisation of simulator training must consider whether the degree of fidelity meets the requirements of the situated work tasks and learning objectives, while also attending to the specific nature of the professionals' expertise.
In the control experiment, participants no longer attempted to ignore the distractor while attending to targets.
For instance, our results imply that people would be less likely to notice an auditory alarm while engaged in a high-visual-load computer task, or more importantly, the sound of a car horn while attending to a visually loaded billboard.
They squander critical minutes and hours each day attending to the wrong activities and tasks.
