Attentional Control Protocols refer to structured interventions designed to enhance the executive function responsible for focusing shifting and sustaining cognitive resources amidst distraction. Within the scope of wellness science these protocols aim to optimize the neurological substrate influenced by neuroendocrine status. Maintaining high signal-to-noise ratio in cognitive processing is the goal.
Origin
The term arises from cognitive psychology where Attentional Control describes the top-down mechanism for goal-directed behavior paired with Protocols indicating systematic repeatable clinical procedures. Its application here links mental performance to physiological regulation.
Mechanism
These protocols often leverage neurofeedback targeted cognitive training or specific nutritional support aimed at optimizing neurotransmitter balance particularly catecholamines and acetylcholine. By improving receptor function and neuronal excitability in the prefrontal cortex the system gains resilience against internal and external perturbations thereby improving sustained focus.
