Dealing with distraction: understanding recovery after interruption

干扰会损害认知能力，但现代环境已经将工作场所、家庭、学校和汽车中的干扰常态化。每天都有悲剧发生，因为人们没有意识到自己注意力的极限。本研究项目探索移动显示器中断的后果，使用尖端的方法来确定大脑如何在中断和注意力恢复过程中保存信息。它包括翻译工作，确定有效的方法来提高对注意力限制的认识和指导政策。研究结果将促进对中断后恢复机制的了解，提高学术界以外对容量限制的认识，并指导提高安全性的政策。

Interruptions impair cognitive performance but modern environments have normalised distractions in our workplaces, homes, schools and cars. Daily tragedies occur because people are unaware of their attentional capacity limits. This Fellowship explores the consequences of interruption in moving displays using cutting-edge methods to determine how the brain holds information over an interruption and the process of attentional recovery. It includes translational work determining effective ways to raise awareness of attention limits and guide policy. The outcomes will advance knowledge of the mechanisms of recovery from interruption, raise awareness of capacity limits beyond academia, and guide policy to improve safety.
