Apertures, Draw, and Syntax: Remodeling Attention
Apertures, Draw, and Syntax: Remodeling Attention
This chapter develops a model to examine the role of apertures, draws, and syntax (ADS) in remodelling and understanding attention; the model addresses all the concerned observations one by one and helps in a better understanding of effortless attention. The chapter focuses on attention and specific elements involved in attention activities, along with the implications of the ADS model. A way in which researchers categorize attention is that of selective attention and vigilance. Selective attention involves selecting a single task of attention from among many available options, while vigilance involves focusing attention on a selected task. Selective attention is extensively investigated by cognitive scientists making efforts to outline its functional and neurophysiological features; vigilance is investigated jointly with different attention-related deficiencies.
