This text presents a comprehensive and accessible overview of the
science of attention, conveying its central findings and
applications to real-world issues, including its relationship with
technology, learning, and memory. The study of attention is a core
area of psychology that is particularly relevant today, given the
ever-increasing demands on our mental workload. This book conveys
the essential issues in attention research, showing how theory and
research co-evolve. The authors use an interdisciplinary
information-processing framework that draws from cognitive
psychology and neuroscience. Each chapter reviews a specific type
of attention and related cognitive processes, including auditory
and visual selective attention, attentional control and inhibition,
divided attention and multitasking, sensory and working memory, and
memory consolidation and information retrieval. Feature boxes help
readers translate key research findings into real-world
applications. A special focus is the relationship between attention
and modern technology, for example in processing multisensory input
in virtual and online environments, and in situations such as air
traffic control, piloting, and driving, where situation awareness
is crucial. Various pathologies that affect attention are also
reviewed, including ADHD, autism-spectrum disorders, dementia, and
head injuries.
