| Description: |
Focussing on the link between theory and application, this work presents laboratory-based psychological research relevant to a range of areas outside of the lab. It provides an understanding of basic theories such as divide, focused, and selective attention as well as specific application areas, including mental workload measurement. |
| Synopsis: |
Eye witness testimony, training, driving, and display design: these are just a few of the real-world domains in which depend on undivided attention. Emphasizing the link between theory and application, Applied Attention Theory provides a deep understanding of how theories of attention, developed from laboratory-based psychological research, can inform our understanding of everyday human performance in a wide number of applications and environments. The basic theories discussed concern divided, focused, and selective attention, and areas of application include mental workload measurement, multi-tasking, distracted driving, complex display design, education, and the training of attentional skills. |
