attention allocation

Attention allocation and visual time-sharing: how drivers distribute gaze and attention across road, mirrors, instruments, and scene regions — dwell time per area-of-interest, scanning priorities, moment-to-moment allocation. The spatial/temporal distribution of attention, distinct from total attentional capacity (attention).
