Attention, Representation, and Human Performance

Scholars explore the complex interplay of neural, psychological, and social factors in Attention, Representation, and Human Performance, emphasizing integration across disciplines.

This volume presents a unique opportunity for scholars from Europe, North Africa, and North America to share their research findings centered around the crucial theme of integration. The contributors, despite their varying research focuses and methodologies, converge on the necessity of understanding a psychological phenomenon in all its complexity. This phenomenon encompasses neural, psychological, and social dimensions, including perception, conception, decision-making processes, motivation, emotion, and cognition, all interacting in intricate ways.

Attention, Representation, and Human Performance is designed for a diverse audience that includes basic and applied psychological researchers, cognitive and affective scientists, learning scientists, biologists, sociologists, neuropsychological researchers, and philosophers. These individuals share a common interest in achieving an integrated understanding of the mind at work, particularly as it relates to real-life phenomena that hold social and practical significance. One of the distinguishing features of this volume is its reliance on neuropsychological evidence while maintaining a commitment to the experimental tradition, which emphasizes functional behavior in various situations that closely resemble real life.

The research compiled in this volume not only aims to advance theoretical knowledge but also strives to be relevant and applicable to a wide range of human endeavors. From religion and education to industrial and organizational psychology, the insights derived from this body of work are expected to be beneficial across various domains, making Attention, Representation, and Human Performance a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the complexities of human cognition and behavior.
