Attentional Blinks

Attentional blinks occur when focusing on one target, leading to missed information, as demonstrated by visual search tasks like finding Waldo. Individuals with ADHD may experience more frequent attentional blinks, suggesting they over-focus on certain stimuli while neglecting others. This insight redefines how we understand distractibility, indicating that it stems from an intense focus rather than a lack of attention.
