One of the most successful methods for discovering the way mental
processes are organized is to observe the effects in experiments of
selectively influencing the processes. Selective influence is
crucial in techniques such as Sternberg's additive factor method
for reaction times and Jacoby's process dissociation procedure for
accuracy. The successful uses of selective influence have
encouraged application extensions to complex architectures, to
dependent variables such as evoked potentials, and to complex
interpretations. But the common themes have become lost in the
details of separate uses and specialized terminology. The book
gives an introductory and unified account of the many uses of the
technique in cognitive psychology. Related models from operations
research and human factors are covered. The applications include
dual tasks, visual and memory search, timing, categorization, and
recall. The book takes a self-contained approach starting with
clear explanations of the elementary notions and a building to
advanced techniques. The book is written with graduate students in
mind, but has content of interest to all researchers in cognitive
science and cognitive engineering.
