Attention is essential for processing information, problem-solving, and performing tasks efficiently. Impaired attention can result from neurological conditions like ADHD, traumatic brain injury, or dementia, impacting daily functioning and cognitive performance. Measuring attention provides insights into an individual's capacity to concentrate and manage competing demands.
