Temporal differentiation of attentional processes

conference paper
In this paper an analysis of the notion of attention is described that comprises a differentiation according to five stages of an attentional process related to action selection and performance. The first stage deals with the allocation of attention to external and internal stimuli, the second with examination and analysis, the third with decision making and action selection, the fourth with action preparation and performance, and the fifth with action assessment. The analysis involves temporal normalisation and validation based on data from a human operator executing a warfare task.
