This two volume set brings together the key research articles and papers on our basic attentional limitations when listening to two messages spoken at once and the major opposing theories which have sought to account for these limitations. It also includes the evidence which has been used to attempt to distinguish between these theories as well as contemporary analyses of the role of attention in the regulation of verbal and non-verbal behaviour.In addition to milestone research papers which set out our attentional limitations and the major explanations of these limitations, the articles in these two volumes represent contemporary investigations of attention and consciousness by experimental psychologists.
Just as our transport systems become more and more important to our
economic and social well-being, so they become more and more
crowded and more at risk from congestion, disruption, and collapse.
Technology and engineering can provide part of the solution, but
the complete solution will need to take account of the behaviour of
the users of the transport networks. The role of psychologists in this is to understand how people
make decisions about the alternative modes of transport and about
the alternative routes to their destinations, to understand how
novice and other vulnerable users can develop safe and effective
behaviours, how competent users can operate within the transport
system optimally and within their perceptual and cognitive
limitations. The contributions to this volume address these issues of how the
use of our transport systems can be improved by taking into account
knowledge of the behaviour of the people who use the systems.
Topics discussed include driver training and licensing, driver
impairment, road user attitudes and behaviour, enforcement and
behaviour change, driver support systems, and the psychology of
mobility and transport mode choice. This work will be of value not only to psychologists but to all transport professionals interested in the application of psychology to traffic.

"Implicit cognition" describes the fascinating learning, memory, and performance processes which take place without the subject's "explicit" awareness. A well known example is patients under anaesthetic who, without being able to verbally recall the surgeons' conversation, do show some retention of the conversation. How much of what we "know" has been learned implicitly? How much of our problem-solving abilities are founded on unconscious processes? Researchers disagree widely over the inmportance, and even the existence, of implicit cognition as an issue in human psychology. This book brings together several internationally known authors with conflicting views on the subject, providing a lively and informative overview of this controversial area.
