Over the last decade there has been a spate of research on the
empirical phenomenon known as "attentional capture". Interest in
capture can be attributed not only to its applied significance, but
also to the implications of the phenomenon for theories of
selective attention, as well as cognitive control in general. This
growing interest, however, has also spawned a wide variety of
experimental paradigms, empirical results, and theoretical
perspectives. In June of 2000, 40 experimental psychologists
converged on Villanova University for a conference and workshop on
attentional capture. The intent was to provide an intimate forum
for scientists from diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and using
diverse methodologies to present their research on attentional
capture and also engage in small group discussions on such key
issues as the definition, measurement, and theoretical treatment of
attention capture. This book presents a collection of chapters
based on those presentations and discussions. Chapters are
organized around areas such as neuroscience, visual cognition,
developmental, individual differences and dynamical systems. The
volume provides: a summary of the latest cutting edge research; an
important compass for future research in this area; a useful survey
of the field; contributions from internationally recognized experts
in attention. Due to its exclusive focus on the topic of
attentional capture the volume should make an excellent
supplemental text or reference book for advanced undergraduate or
graduate seminars in cognitive psychology and attention.
