My Critique - Attentional Blink edit

This is a critique of the article Attentional_blink The article itself is very short and is erring towards seeming incomplete. All throughout the article there's a plethora of citations missing - citations that could help the reader decipher what the article is saying. There are also some grammatical and sentence structure issues. The article itself reads as a compilation of facts put together in no particular order but it doesn't give a concrete definition of what the attentional blink is. The article is in fact unbiased, but the way it's organized is confusing. After reading through the full article it was still very difficult to even begin to grasp the concept of what an attentional blink is.

The article is difficult to understand from the very beginning- the first sentence doesn't make much sense and is missing links/citations to phrases such as "temporal costs" and "allocating selective attention". Including links or additional information on these two phrases would help open up the article better and create a platform for further information in the rest of the article. If one was interested in adding additional information on how temporal costs connects to attentional blink they could use this article [1].... and if one wanted to expand on how selective attention plays a role in the attentional blink they could use this article[2]
