This is basic research with broad societal implications. We constantly balance the attention demands of achieving a goal (e.g., driving) in the midst of competing environmental demands (e.g., attention-grabbing advertising). Billions of dollars are spent trying to make our roads safer, but basic research is critical to inform policy and design. There are three main benefits in identifying distractions that impair performance on a task that requires attention to moving objects. It will: (1) develop a method for exploring attention demands on real-world experiences (e.g., driving); (2) inform policy decisions on safer environments; and (3) provide a basis for minimising distractions in environments for people with attentional difficulties.

这是具有广泛社会意义的基础研究。我们不断地平衡实现目标的注意力需求（例如，驾驶）和竞争环境需求（例如，吸引注意力的广告）之间的平衡。为了使我们的道路更安全，我们花费了数十亿美元，但基础研究对政策和设计至关重要。在需要注意移动物体的任务中，识别干扰因素有三个主要好处。它将：(1)开发一种方法来探索现实世界体验（例如，驾驶）的注意力需求；(2)为安全环境的决策提供信息；(3)为注意力困难人群在环境中减少干扰提供依据。
