Attention in Vision

Attention in Vision

A.H.C. van der Heijden

Psychology Press Ltd
2003

Attention in Vision is an important work which aims to identify, address and solve some major problems and issues in the psychology of visual perception, attention and intentional control. The central aim is to investigate how people use their visual perception in the performance of tasks and to explore how the intentional control of action is achieved.Through an extensive review of the philosophy of psychology, the history of ideas and theories of intentional control, and an analysis of various tasks, a new theory is developed which argues that there is an important difference between report tasks and act tasks.The first section of the book introduces the issues of visual perception in a historical context and outlines van der Heijden's theory. The theory is developed in the second and third sections by analysing the findings from some of the main experimental paradigms of cognitive psychology and applying the theory to act tasks. Finally, the epilogue skilfully draws together the theory into an explanation of different historical and theoretical perspectives in psychology. This book will be invaluable to researchers and high-level undergraduates in the field of visual perception and attention.

Short-term Visual Information Forgetting (PLE: Memory)

Short-term Visual Information Forgetting (PLE: Memory)

A.H.C. van der Heijden

Psychology Press Ltd
2014
sidottu
When this title was originally published in 1981, the information processing approach to perception and memory was dominant in experimental psychology, and the research reported here had major implications for future development. After exploring the shortcomings of earlier work in this field, the author develops a new model which he shows to be capable of accounting for a variety of experimental data connected with human information processing, visual perception and attention.The central theme which is discussed is how we select relevant and discard irrelevant information. The basic assumption is that all incoming information is identified, that is, it reaches and activates the appropriate lexical entries. A piece of identified information is described as a unit consisting of three distinguishable codes: a visual code, a lexical or semantic code and a motor or action code. Identified information decays fast, so selective attention operates by selecting those units which have to be saved from this rapid decay. In a sense, therefore, the human information processor is described as struggling against forgetting.

I've found myself Peace Breathing throughout the day and even sometimes when I wake up at night. I love the idea of being part of a movement towards world peace, and the act of peace breathing does actually bring peace and tranquility." Deborah Lloyd, Readers' Favorite: "The suggested way to absorb the wisdom contained in this book is to read one lesson each morning and meditate on it throughout the day.... The meditative technique, called Peace Breathing, is one of the simplest and most profound ways to bring calmness to a hectic lifestyle. It can be done anywhere or anytime, with no one else being any the wiser. However, over time, coworkers, friends and family members may notice the peacefulness emanating from you. One of the best features of this book is that each lesson is easy to understand and relatable to every reader.... The author writes in a smooth, flowing manner, adding to the seeming simplicity of each chapter. Yet, each one is thought-provoking, with layers of meaning within the lessons. Additionally, how one person's energy affects the entire world is well explained."
