Attention and Memory - An Integrated Framework

Klappentext Cognitive psychologist Nelson Cowan reconciles theoretical conflicts to present an important new look at the traditional information-processing approach, modifying it to incorporate the last few decades of research on memory, attention, and brain functioning. Zusammenfassung This book brings together and assesses past and present research on information processing, and formulates a new general model of this entire system. Throughout his discussion, Cowan emphasizes that memory and attention cannot be considered independently and presents new research in psychophysiology, visual perception, cognitive development, and individual differences to support his thesis. This book offers both a review of the literature and a new model, and it will appeal to both the student and the professional interested in memory, attention, and cognitive psychology.
