Absent-mindedness is where a person shows inattentive or forgetful behaviour.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/absent-minded )〕 It can have three different causes: # a low level of attention ("blanking" or "zoning out") # intense attention to a single object of focus (hyperfocus) that makes a person oblivious to events around him or her; # unwarranted distraction of attention from the object of focus by irrelevant thoughts or environmental events.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.charminghealth.com/applicability/inattentiveness.htm )〕 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. When suffering from absent-mindedness, people tend to show signs of memory lapse and weak recollection of recently occurring events. This can usually be a result of a variety of other conditions often diagnosed by clinicians such as ADD and depression. In addition to absent-mindedness leading to an array of consequences affecting daily life, it can have as more severe, long-term problems. ==Conceptualization== Absent-mindedness seemingly consists of lapses of concentration or "zoning out". This can result in lapses of short or long term memory, depending on when the person in question was in a state of absent-mindedness. Absent-mindedness also relates directly to lapses in attention. Schachter and Dodsen say, that in the context of memory, “absent-mindedness entails inattentive or shallow processing that contributes to weak memories of ongoing events or forgetting to do things in the future”.〔 This is common among teenagers and seniors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Absent-mindedness」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
