In broader use it can denote distraction, diversion of attention, or dispersal of information or stimuli, depending on the context.

In cognitive and communicative contexts rozptyluje often describes situations where information, noise, or complexity makes it difficult to focus or reason. The most common collocation is rozptyluje uwagę, meaning that something distracts attention. It can also be used of a problem or phenomenon that perplexes someone, for example Ta zagadka rozptyluje myśli badacza (The riddle perplexes the researcher’s thoughts). In evaluative or critical writing, the term may carry a negative connotation, implying inefficiency or obfuscation.
