absorptions
Deep mental engagements
Absorptions is the plural of absorption—instances or types of taking something in.
The word appears in scientific contexts discussing how materials take up liquids, gases, or energy: The absorptions of different wavelengths vary by material.
It also describes states of deep mental engagement: Her absorptions in work left little time for anything else.
