“Simple activities like stretching, walking or even a quick workout help increase blood flow to the brain, which can improve cognitive function and focus,” says Ramsey.
Quiet eye (QE) is a period of extended visual attention that helps in optimizing the control and execution of motor skills, particularly in high-pressure situations or tasks that require precise movements. In simple terms, it is a technique reported to improve outcomes in various tasks requiring human visual attention.
The scarcity of attention is the underlying assumption for attention management; the researcher Herbert A. Simon pointed out that when there is a vast availability of information, attention becomes the more scarce resource as human beings cannot digest all the information. [6] Fundamentally, attention is limited by the processing power of the ...
Cognitive training and attention control exercises are being developed to improve attention. Most of the solutions to counter continuous partial attention reduce the effect rather than reducing the problem itself. Using brain-training games has seen promising results in increasing cognitive control and reducing susceptibility to distractions.
Brain training (also called cognitive training) is a program of regular activities purported to maintain or improve one's cognitive abilities. The phrase “cognitive ability” usually refers to components of fluid intelligence such as executive function and working memory .
Attention is best described as the sustained focus of cognitive resources on information while filtering or ignoring extraneous information.

Learning is the process of acquiring new understanding, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, attitudes, and preferences. [1] The ability to learn is possessed by humans, non-human animals, and some machines; there is also evidence for some kind of learning in certain plants. [2]
Attentional retraining is the retraining of automatic attentional processes. The method of retraining varies but has typically employed computerized training programs. [1] [2] The term originally indicated retraining of attention to rehabilitate individuals after a brain injury who had neurological disorders of attention including hemineglect, perseveration, limited attention span, and even ADHD.
