Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Absent-mindedness
Absent-mindedness can refer to three very different things: 1) a low level of attention ("blanking" or “zoning out”); 2) intense attention to a single object of focus (hyperfocus) that makes us oblivious to events around us (See absent-minded professor); or 3) unwarranted distraction of attention from the object of focus by irrelevant thoughts or environmental events.
