  We perform a numerical analysis of a recent introduced model for describing
collective movement in alarmed animals groups. This model, derived from a
position-based interaction and a limited attention field, displays a
non-equilibrium phase transition between a crystal-like phase, characterised by
a single densely packed cluster of individuals, which occurs for small
attention field angles, and a disordered phase, constituted of fragmented
clusters, which emerges at large angles. The transition is quantitatively
characterised, measuring its critical point and describing its scaling
behaviour, which suggests that the nature of the transition is discontinuous.
Finally, we study the correlations in the directions of motion, which show
strong positive values at short distances. This fact suggests that individuals'
effective perception range goes far beyond the model interaction range.
