Dynamic audiovisuals increase spectator attention, but inhibits conscious processing
Scene changes inhibit a spectator's blink rate, thus increasing their attention. It also produces a flow of brain activities from the occipital lobe towards the frontal lobe. These are the conclusions reached by researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the Pablo de Olavide University, Sevilla. The study, recently publishd [sic] in the journal Neuroscience, deals with what happens after the scene changes from a triple approach: frequency in blinking, electric activity in the brain and functional connectivity associated with the brain.
The research also concluded that the editing style influences a spectator's perception. Scene changes presented in a dynamic and chaotic style, such as video-clips, produce more activity in the visual processing areas when compared to more continuous and orderly scene changes. Likewise, the activity in frontal areas in charge of more complex processes is superior when the editing style is more continuous and orderly.

It's not like we didn't know that already. This strategy is actively used in both marketing and politics. Why convince someone with good arguments when you can just Oh look! A squirrel!

Anyone with children knows that no external request or demand can be processed while the eyes are riveted to the blinky screen.

An agile software development.
Where you must release sooner and often, and then divide your attention between next release and fixing the zillions of corners you cut earlier.
