Record attention allocation in real time using both
Record attention allocation in real time using both automated tracking and manual categorization to overcome retrospective estimation bias.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounded in reconstructive memory (Memory is reconstructive, not reproductive—humans rebuild — memory rebuilds rather than retrieves accurately) and measurement changing behavior (Measurement of behavior changes the behavior being measured.). The Robinson & Godbey research shows people are systematically wrong about time use. The principle prescribes dual-layer measurement (automated + manual) to capture ground truth. Highly actionable.
