Opis

Whilst attention is a term commonly used in everyday life, for many years psychologists have struggled in their attempts to explain what it actually means. This volume introduces the main psychological research on attention and the methods that have been used to study it. It also examines the subdivisions of focused and divided attention and explores how people recognize patterns and faces.

Recenzje

'It is clearly written and provides helpful advice and material to foster the improvement of grades. Although aimed at A and AS level students, this book would provide an appropriate introduction for first year undergraduate students who have not studied psychology before' - Liz Styles, Buckingham Chilterns University College

`This book is clearly and accessibly written...It goes beyond what is available in most of the general textbooks currently available to A level students and will allow a keen student to develop knowledge and understanding of the topic that should lead to higher grades in the exam...' - Jane Willson, Norwich City College
