attention

Attentional capacity and selective attention in driving: limited-capacity models, selective and divided attention, resources and bottlenecks underlying driving. The theory of attentional capacity, distinct from where the eyes actually go (attention_allocation / eye_movements_scanning) and from sustained monitoring (vigilance).
