Attention span

Attention span is the amount of time spent concentrating on a task before becoming distracted.^[1] Distractibility occurs when attention is uncontrollably diverted to another activity or sensation.^[2] Attention training is said to be part of education, particularly in the way students are trained to remain focused on a topic of discussion for extended periods, developing listening and analytical skills in the process.^[3]
