Zusatztext "This is an important book for those who study response times or use them as tools. What about those who find mathematics indigestible? The fact is that there are not many clearer expositions of response times, with or without mathematics. In many cases, the author's presentation of work is clearer than the original literature....This book has something for everyone who is seriously interested in response times: a history, a handbook, and a glimpse of our future science." --Contemporary Psychology Klappentext This authoritative volume provides a well balanced and comprehensive treatment of the mathematical theory of human response time and the role it plays in our understanding of the mind's organization.
