This is interesting to me as a juggler because almost everything you do in juggling involves maintaining your spatial awareness of multiple objects even though you are only able to focus on one at a time. Much of understanding a juggling pattern is developing the ability to see where a ball will go in a split second. By the time you actually catch that ball, you probably did several other things in the meantime, but the right time to "look" is anywhere from a tenth to a half second before you actually catch. When you start out, you feel the compulsion to follow each ball until you catch it. When you get better, you start seeing the ball at its peak and anticipating its landing. Practice enough and you start tracking 5 balls instead of 3, or tracking and anticipating the spins on clubs. There's obviously a ton of muscle memory involved, but maintaining enough focus to keep track of everything with well timed, short glances is a developed skill. Makes me wonder about how to do this intentionally. I don't think I've ever been able to do this consistently.
