Cognitive Psychology
Attentional resources refer to the mental capacity or energy available for processing information and focusing on specific stimuli in our environment. These resources are limited, meaning that we can only pay attention to a certain number of things at once, which impacts how we perceive and interact with the world around us. Understanding how these resources are allocated helps explain various aspects of attention, including selective attention, divided attention, and the effects of multitasking.
