About

    Attentional control refers to the ability to focus on specific stimuli or tasks while ignoring distractions. It is a critical cognitive function that allows individuals to selectively allocate their attention and resources to relevant information, thereby influencing their perception, memory, and decision-making processes. Research in this area explores the mechanisms and processes involved in attentional control, as well as how it can be affected by factors such as motivation, fatigue, and individual differences in cognitive abilities. Additionally, attentional control is studied in various contexts, ranging from everyday tasks to more complex activities such as driving or playing sports.
