The causes and consequences of attentional rescaling

该项目旨在研究人们重新调整视觉注意力焦点的能力背后的机制。这种重估很重要，因为它们与人们执行特定任务的能力有关。该项目采用认知心理学中的创新方法，将个体差异、实验和训练框架整合在一起，期望产生关于注意力重新缩放及其可能改进的新理论知识。预期的结果包括针对特定情况的选拔和培训计划，如训练运动员和空乘人员。通过确定从培训中获益最多的人（减少浪费）和制定提高任务绩效的具有成本效益的培训形式，可以预期获得经济效益。

This project aims to investigate the mechanisms that underlie people’s capacity to rescale the focus of their visual attention. Such rescalings are important because they are linked with people’s capacity to perform specific tasks. Using an innovative approach within cognitive psychology that integrates individual differences, experimental, and training frameworks, this project expects to generate new theoretical knowledge about attentional re-scaling and its possible improvement. The expected outcomes include selection and training programs for specific contexts such as training athletes and flight attendants. Economic benefits can be expected through the identification of those who will benefit most from training (reducing waste) and developing cost-effective forms of training which improve task performance.
