An authoritative overview of current research on human attention,
emphasizing the relation between cognitive phenomena observed in
the laboratory and in the real world. Laboratory research on human
attention has often been conducted under conditions that bear
little resemblance to the complexity of our everyday lives.
Although this research has yielded interesting discoveries, few
scholars have truly connected these findings to natural
experiences. This book bridges the gap between "laboratory and
life" by bringing together cutting-edge research using traditional
methodologies with research that focuses on attention in everyday
contexts. It offers definitive reviews by both established and
rising research stars on foundational topics such as visual
attention and cognitive control, underrepresented domains such as
auditory and temporal attention, and emerging areas of
investigation such as mind wandering and embodied attention. The
contributors discuss a range of approaches and methodologies,
including psychophysics, mental chronometry, stationary and mobile
eye-tracking, and electrophysiological and functional brain
imaging. Chapters on everyday attention consider such diverse
activities as driving, shopping, reading, multitasking, and playing
videogames. All chapters present their topics in the same overall
format: historical context, current research, the possible
integration of laboratory and real-world approaches, future
directions, and key and outstanding issues. Contributors Richard A.
