集体生活是相关成本和收益之间动态权衡的结果。然而，这些成本和收益不一定在群体的不同空间位置上均匀分布，这可能导致群体中占据不同位置的个体的不同健身回报。在这里，我们考虑在人类的导航任务的一组领导是否可能有一个特定的成本与it. Pairs的学生进行了计数任务，同时走过两个障碍课程，一次作为领导者，一次作为追随者。我们发现，领导者在计数任务中犯的错误比追随者多得多，这表明领导/导航行为存在注意力成本。
Group living is the result of a dynamic trade-off between associated costs and benefits. However, these costs and benefits are not necessarily distributed equally across different spatial positions of groups which may result in different fitness returns for individuals occupying different positions in groups. Here we consider whether leadership of a group during a navigation task in humans may have a specific cost associated with it. Pairs of students performed a counting task whilst walking through two obstacle courses, once as leader and once as follower. We found that leaders made significantly more errors in the counting task than followers suggesting that there is an attention cost associated with leadership/navigation behaviour.
