Attentional Capital

Meaning

Attentional Capital is a non-traditional, functional health metric representing an individual’s finite capacity for focused, sustained cognitive engagement and mental effort over time. It reflects the overall physiological and neurological resources available to effectively direct attention, filter environmental distractions, and execute complex executive tasks. Clinically, this valuable “capital” is directly influenced by the precise balance of neurotransmitters, hormonal stability, and the underlying quality of restorative sleep.
