Mental Training Affects Distribution of Limited Brain Resources (2007, background): “As mentioned above, the attentional blink is thought to result from suboptimal sharing of limited attentional resources: When many resources are devoted to T1 processing, T2 is more likely to be missed [4,13].”
Playing video games does not make for better visual attention skills (2009, background): “Both groups showed the standard AB effect where performance for T2 detection is impaired when it follows T1 by 200 to 500 ms (Arnell & Jolicoeur, 1999; Chun & Potter, 1995; Martens et al., 2006; Olivers, 2004; Raymond et al., 1992; Shapiro et al., 1997).”
Brain plasticity through the life span: learning to learn and action video games. (2012, background): “This effect, termed the attentional blink, is believed to measure a fundamental bottleneck in the dynamics of attention allocation (Shapiro et al. 1997).”
