Book Description

December 27, 2001 0198505159 978-0198505150 1
For psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists interested in 'attention', the debate over the temporal limits of our attentional mechanisms is one of great importance and topicality. In The limits of attention, Kimron Shapiro has brought together a high quality team of attention researchers to discuss the issues key to this area of attention research. The result is an important book for cognitive psychologists, cognitive neuroscientists, and philosophers.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The chapters are all very readable, and replete with up-to-date references. This makes the book both an admirable introduction to the topic area and a very useful reference work. I have found it a valuable source of ideas in preparing material on attention for third-level undergraduates; the style of writing recommends the book for inclusion in the reading lists of many courses. Applied Cognitive Psychology ... excellent book. Applied Cognitive Psychology
