“…Considering the existing work concerning BTP and situation awareness, it seems reasonable, therefore, to postulate that the more balanced an individual's TP, the higher the individual's situation awareness in dynamic contexts. This differs considerably from the idea that individuals with BTPs would perceive cues from the environment and optimally shift to the one TP that best fits the situation; instead, Endsley's work and subsequent empirical research based on it (e.g., Rosenman et al, ; Uitdewilligen & Waller, ) would suggest that to attain the highest level of situation awareness within their dynamic task contexts, individuals with BTPs continually build upon present and past views to extrapolate forward, effectively accomplishing “temporal multitasking” by simultaneously cycling among and attending to the past, present, and future. For example, an acute care nurse with BTP might achieve a high level of situation awareness by continuously monitoring a patient's oxygen levels in real time (present focus); hypothesizing causes for a downward trend, for example, that an increased fluid collection may be growing over time near the lungs (past and present focus); and recommending diagnostic tests in anticipation of a needed procedure to drain the fluid collection (future focus).…”
