Cognitive distraction is a form of attention diversion characterized by the diversion of mental resources away from the primary task at hand. This phenomenon occurs when an individual engages in a secondary, mentally demanding task simultaneously with a principal activity, causing the quality and efficiency of the primary task to diminish. Cognitive distraction is associated predominantly with complex tasks such as driving or operating machinery, where it can significantly contribute to accidents and mishaps. A myriad of factors can induce cognitive distraction, spanning internal thoughts to external stimuli like conversation or digital devices. Research has shown that even hands-free device usage while driving can cause cognitive distraction, challenging the assumption that physically free equates cognitively free. This highlights the profound impact cognitive distractions can have on human performance and safety.
