Originally published in 1978 Volume 5 of this Handbook reflects a
single theoretical orientation, that characterized by the term
human information processing in the literature at the time, but
which ranges over a very broad spectrum of cognitive activities.
The first two chapters give some overall picture of the background,
goals, method, and limitations of the information-processing
approach. The remaining chapters treat in detail some principal
areas of application - visual processing, mental chronometry,
representation of spatial information in memory, problem solving,
and the theory of instruction. The first three volumes of the
Handbook presented an overview of the field, followed by treatments
of conditioning, behavior theory, and human learning and retention.
With the fourth volume, the focus of attention shifted from the
domain of learning theory to that of cognitive psychology.
