Attention and Performance Xiii

"After finishing this magnum opus, a reader clearly knows about most, if not all, of the critical issues in motor control. I recommend this issue to any student of human motor behavior."
—Contemporary Psychology

"A thorough and comprehensive view of the issue of motor control is presented; in both its breadth and depth the book makes a notable contribution to the field....Overall, the writing is of high quality, and the scholarship is meticulous.In a volume with 30 contributing authors, this is a pleasant surprise! It serves as an excellent update on the existing literature because the chapters provide a wealth of references."
—American Scientist

"The layout and uniform typesetting of papers is particularly pleasing. It ensures that the surface features of a paper do not get in the way of reading its content. Figures, tables, and graphs are of an equally high quality....cross referencing of papers within the volume is also very useful. I found all the papers that I read clear and easy to assimilate....Whether the symposium is the reason for this clarity or not, it is certainly to the editor's credit....This clarity benefited my reading of papers from areas of which I had little or no knowledge. I found something of interest in all of them, and I generally felt that I understood the issue being addressed in the paper....I found this to be a very useful book....You might want to order two though as I'm sure colleagues from other departments will also borrow a copy."
—Ergonomics

"The book is a substantial one with five empirical sections....a more important aspect of the volume is the extent to which the work included has broken free of the limitation imposed by overly simple measures of performance such as reaction time, movement time or end-point accuracy....In general, the combination of tutorials and in-depth coverage of particular areas through more experimental chapters means that Attention and Performance XIII provides a good coverage of much of the field of movement control....many of the chapters(and not just those in the tutorial section) do provide excellent reviews of selected topics."
