Orienting is the gateway to attention, the first step in processing
stimulus information. This volume examines these initial stages of
information intake, focusing on the sensory and motivational
mechanisms that determine such phenomena as stimulus selection and
inhibition, habituation, pre-attentive processing, and expectancy.
Psychophysiological methods are emphasized throughout. The
contributors consider analyses based on cardiovascular and
electrodermal changes, reflex reactions, and neural events in the
cortex and subcortex.
Stimulated by a conference lauding Frances Graham -- held before
and during a recent meeting of the Society for Psychophysiological
Research, the book presents current theory and research by an
international cadre of outstanding investigators. A major
researcher and theorist in the field of attention for more than
three decades, Dr. Graham contributes an Afterword to the present
volume which is both a consideration of the work which has gone
before, and a new, original theory paper on preattentive processing
and attention.
