Attention Resource Allocation

Meaning

Attention resource allocation is a cognitive psychology concept describing the brain’s process of distributing finite mental capacity to various tasks, sensory inputs, and internal thought processes. In the context of hormonal health, this term highlights how subtle shifts in neurochemistry, often modulated by hormones like cortisol or thyroid hormones, can influence one’s ability to focus and maintain cognitive performance. Optimal hormonal balance is essential for maximizing this resource distribution.
