Absent-mindedness


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absent-mindedness)
Absent-mindedness is where a person shows inattentive or forgetful behaviour.[1] It can have three different causes:
  1. a low level of attention ("blanking" or "zoning out")
  2. intense attention to a single object of focus (hyperfocus) that makes a person oblivious to events around him or her; or
  3. unwarranted distraction of attention from the object of focus by irrelevant thoughts or environmental events.[2]
Absent-mindedness is a mental condition in which the subject experiences low levels of attention and frequent distraction. Absent-mindedness is not a diagnosed condition but rather a symptom of boredom and sleepiness which people experience in their daily lives.
