Input-Rich Environments

Sometimes a domain presents more perceptual information than an agent can even observe, let alone process intelligently. Additionally, it is important that such a (possibly continual) influx of perceptual data not overwhelm the agent and thus cause a degradation in its reactivity. However, it must respond to relevant information; otherwise, it may behave irrationally. Such considerations have driven the development of architectural mechanisms such as selective attention to manage this environmental complexity.
