Towards measuring attention allocation in model-based engineering teamwork
… of sensors to measure team awareness using team attention in the problem and solution spaces. The concept of situational awareness and attention allocation has been studied in literature in the context of user interaction design for individuals or teams in areas where team members could be …

The Structural Constraint and The Strategic Control of Attention Allocation
… time-sharing efficiency (joint performance) and attention allocation optimality (consistency of protecting the performance of the high priority task). Time-sharing performance was evaluated as: (a) structural configurations of the time-shared tasks, (b) dynamics of the difficulty changes, and (c) …

Attention allocation during the observation of biological motion: an EEG study
… communication, with infants showing preferential attention towards motion from an early age. Further, adults can extract a broad range of social information from the biological motion of human figures represented by dots of light (point-light displays), that contain kinematic, structural and …

An attention allocation model for the effects of alcohol on aggression
… alcohol's effects on aggression are mediated by attentional processes. Sixty-four college men over the age of 21 were provoked by a confederate and then distracted or non-distracted in order to determine the effects of attention on aggression. It was hypothesized that alcohol-distract subjects …

Evaluating attention allocation in children to young adults with a single and dual task EEG paradigm
Objectives. The ability to effectively allocate attentional resources between tasks has implications for participation in activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) across the lifespan. Neuroimaging techniques, such as electroencephalography (EEG) can …

An analysis of consumer perceptions, attitudes, visual attention allocation, and willingness to pay for clean label food items
… attitudes, willingness to pay, and visual attention allocation toward clean label food items. A standard definition for clean labels has yet to be developed; therefore, several commonly associated attributes were tested to determine how consumers perceive the clean label in relation to each …

Exploring the Effects of Task Priority on Attention Allocation and Trust Towards Imperfect Automation: A Flight Simulator Study
… the effect of task priority and task load on attention allocation and automation trust in a multitasking flight simulator platform. Previous research demonstrated that, participants made less fixations and reported lower levels of trust towards the automation in the secondary monitoring under …

THE EFFECTS OF AN ACUTE BOUT OF EXERCISE UPON BEHAVIORAL RESPONSES TO AND NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL INDICES OF ATTENTION ALLOCATION IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS
… activity and cognitive processes, such as attention allocation, are less well understood. Methods: This study sought to: 1) Investigate the effects of an acute bout of exercise on behavioral responses; 2) Investigate the effects of an acute bout of exercise on neurophysiological measures; …

The Distracted Driver: Modeling the Impact of Information Bandwidth, in -Vehicle Task Priority, and Spatial -Separation on Driver Performance and Attention Allocation
… (Exp. 2). Finally, we used a model of visual attention---the SEEV model (salience, effort, expectancy, and value)---to determine whether objective parameters of the driving environment and IVT task could predict differences in scanning behavior and whether these differences would or would not …

Eye movement guidance in familiar visual scenes : a role for scene specific location priors in search
… movements in complex, cluttered environments. Attention allocation is known to be influenced by low level image features, visual scene context, and top down task constraints. Scene specific context develops when observers repeatedly search the same environment (e.g. one's workplace or home) and …
