About this title

Review

Selective Attention in Vision is a must for everyone in the field. - Acta Psychologica

Synopsis

How our brain is able to select information from the vast amount available to it from our senses and surroundings is of central importance: if we were unable to be selective we would simply be overwhelmed with information. 'Selective attention' is thus a matter of central concern to psychologists. Whilst the advent of information processing approaches has brought a wealth of new data there is still much confusion on the subject and no clear theory concerning selective attention in vision, the most important field of selective attention research. Van der Heijden clarifies the complex concept of selective attention, presents an integrated account of the data in the field of selective attention in vision, and provides a clear and explicit theory of it.
