paraprosexia / hyperprosexia
paraprosexia (par-uh-proh-SEK-see-uh) - n., the inability to pay attention to any one thing.
hyperprosexia (hai-per-proh-SEK-see-uh) - n., an excessively fixed attention to only one thing.
So complete distraction and hyper-focus, in their severe, neurologically damaged forms -- as in not ADD/ADHD but actual brain trauma states. Coined from Latin prefixes para- / hyper- + Greek prosexis, attention.
