Research on attention has evolved dramatically since the early work
of the 1950s, and even in the few years since the publication of
the first edition of this book. There have been significant changes
in the study of how we are able to select some aspects for
processing and ignore others, and how we are able to combine tasks,
learn skills and make intentional actions. Attention is now
increasingly seen as a complex process intimately linked with
perception, memory and action. New questions are continually being
addressed in the area of crossmodal attention and there have been
important developments in brain imaging, which allow new insights
into the biological bases of attention.
After an initial consideration of what attention might be, this
book charts the development in the ideas and theories which
surround the field. An entirely new chapter addresses the nature of
auditory attention and the question of how visual and auditory
attention are combined across modalities. The problems of task
combination, skill acquisition and automaticity are considered, as
well as the selection and control of action, and conscious and
unconscious processing.
"The Psychology of Attention, Second Edition" provides a
comprehensive and accessible introduction to this fascinating and
rapidly developing field.
