Active attention is part of the broader theory of ecological perception, although it is a bit older.
It was initially developed by the gestalt psychologists in the 1930s,[1] and refined by J. J.Gibson in the 1960s and 1970s.[2] The theory has never died, although for the approximately 80 years that it has been around, it has somehow always been considered a niche area of psychology. It has had little traction in medicine, for instance, until recently, when a series of coherent hypotheses proposed that active perception is the basis for developmental disorders and psychiatric symptoms.[3][4][5][6]
