Attention is a central research topic within cognitive science, as evidenced by foundational texts like 'Consciousness, Attention, and Conscious Attention' {fact:1, fact:2, fact:8} and the field's historical focus on how attention relates to conscious awareness {fact:4, fact:7}. Cognitive science utilizes specific paradigms and metaphors to study the functional structure of attention {fact:5, fact:6}, and establishing common terminology for it is considered essential for the field's advancement [1].
