Publisher's Synopsis
"Attention and Performance XIV", the silver jubilee volume in a series of international symposia on human mental and physical performance, provides a broad, historic synthesis of the empirical and theoretical ideas on which performance theory rests.;Extending trends set by earlier symposia volumes, the 35 contributions treat topics that are central to a scientific understanding of human performance - including visual information processing, selective atttention, mental chronometry, learning, memory, and motor control - from the interdisciplinary perspectives of experimental psychology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and neurophysiology. The assembled tutorials, reviews and previews, new research reports, and critical commentaries ranging from retrospective assessments to forecasts of likely future advances make this undertaking at once a handbook, memoir, monograph, and text that should serve a multiplicity of needs for workers in a variety of allied disciplines.
