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.--ERGONOMICSnetBASE description. Read more... Abstract: 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. Read more... 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. Includes an extensive reference list and citations to both basic and applied work Provides intuitive descriptions of attentional phenomena in the world beyond the laboratory Discusses applications of attention theory to diverse areas such as graph design, distracted driving, and process control Offers an engineering orientation as well as a psychological orientation to research Highlights the critical role of effort in single task behavior, such as decision and choice, to the extent that humans tend to be effort-conserving in their choice of activities Examines how multiple tasks are managed in a discrete fashion "Eye witness testimony, training, driving, and display design: these are just a few of the real-world domains in which attention is manifested. 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." "The book highlights explicit links between theory and applications, such as single channel theory and measurement of mental workload, attention capture and the design of alarms, and object-based attention and the design of complex displays. The authors maintain this balance between theory and practice as they explore the application of the theory and the value of good science underlying attentional phenomena in the applied human factors areas of design and measurement."--BOOK JACKET "Denkräume" und "Denkbewegungen" sind Metaphernfelder, die häufig in wissenschaftlichen Diskussionen und in der Theoriebildung Verwendung finden, wenn beispielsweise von der nötigen "Verortung" der Gedanken, oder auch von der Konstruktion von "Theoriegebäuden" gesprochen wird. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Verwendung solcher Metaphern und der zugrunde liegenden Annahme, dass die "Bauweisen" von Theorie und Wissen zunehmend ins Bewusstsein der Philosophen rücken. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, jenseits klassischer Raumtheorie diesen Bereich der sprachlichen Verfasstheit wissenschaftlicher Texte und der damit verknüpften Sprach- und Bildlogik zu untersuchen, um einen bislang wenig beobachteten Bereich der metatheoretischen Selbstbeobachtung und Selbstbeschreibung der Philosophie sichtbar zu machen und interdiskursive Zusammenhänge und Traditionslinien aufzuzeigen
