Continuous partial attention (CPA) is the process of paying simultaneous attention to a number of sources of incoming information, but at a superficial level. The term was coined by Linda Stone in 1998.〔(Nate Torkington's blog coverage ) of Stone's talk at the 2006 (O'Reilly Emerging Technology ) conference.〕 Author Steven Berlin Johnson describes this as a kind of multitasking: "It usually involves skimming the surface of the incoming data, picking out the relevant details, and moving on to the next stream. You're paying attention, but only partially. That lets you cast a wider net, but it also runs the risk of keeping you from really studying the fish."〔''Everything Bad Is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter'' by Steven Berlin Johnson, p.59〕 Stone has clarified that CPA is not the same as multi-tasking.〔(Continuous Partial Attention — Not the Same as Multi-Tasking ), July 24, 2008, Business Week〕〔(Multitasking versus continuous partial attention ) Lifehacker, January 11, 2008〕 Where multi-tasking is driven by a conscious desire to be productive and efficient, CPA is an automatic process, motivated only by "a desire to be a live node on the network".〔(Continuous Partial Attention. ) Linda Stone〕 Compared to multi-tasking, full attention is not required by CPA (hence the "partial") and the process is ongoing rather than episodic (hence the "continuous"). == See also == * Age of Interruption * Attention economy * Attention management * Human multitasking * Information overload * Overchoice * Stress management * Time management 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「continuous partial attention」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
