Summary

The purpose of this research study is to find out about how looking at different types of pictures can affect people's attention spans. Attention Restoration Theory (ART) suggests that there are two types of attention. One type (directed attention) can become tired and cause people to make mistakes. The other type (involuntary attention) gives directed attention a chance to rest, so people make less mistakes. Certain types of pictures are good at capturing involuntary attention. We think that capturing involuntary attention will help emergency physicians make less mistakes on tests of attention. This study will allow us to learn more about it.
