Research on human cognition by psychologists indicates that the human attention mechanism is based on limited "cognitive resources." Different cognitive tasks require varying proportions of "cognitive resources," and the complexity of stimulus processing in tasks is proportional to the amount of "resources" used.
The cognitive system can flexibly allocate attention through a "resource allocation" mechanism, prioritizing important or novel stimuli; when total resource demand exceeds an individual's capacity, attention distribution becomes imbalanced.
This is the "Cognitive Resource Theory."
In certain film and television works, characters who, after experiencing significant life changes, immerse themselves fully in work to avoid sadness and breakdown, are operating based on this principle.
The application of the "grounding technique," especially the "5-4-3-2-1 technique" currently being guided by Nan Zhubin, also employs the principle of "Cognitive Resource Theory" to some extent.
