I liked the introduction and the structure of the book, I liked the references to relevant research, I liked how the book asks questions and brings diverse perspectives on how these may be approached, I will be interested to read an updated edition, I must admit I read this book with a total appreciation of my inability to pay full attention to what I was reading, However, it has made me vaguely more appreciative of how complex the psychology of attention is, which means, ironically enough, I don't feel too bad about my inability to focus on this one.


Actual score.it's a textbook after all well written though, The text provided a nice overview of what is known about attention she reviewed the experimental results that have been found with an attempt to explain their differences she provided an overview of the prominent theories on attention with their strengths and weaknesses there was some comparison to neuropsychology cases the most frustrating part was, despite the amount of information we have, we still know little about attention.
Pretty interesting. Human attention is more complex than we think, but some parts of the

text are really convoluted, specially for studying, Views on attention have undergone continuous evolution since the early work of thes, Today, the questions asked about attention, consciousness and control are rather different from those initially posed, and evidence drawn into the debate comes not only from experimental psychology, but also from neurophysiology, neuropsychology and computational modelling.
As evidence has accumulated, theories have changed and fundamental assumptions have been challenged, Rather than asking "What is attention," people are beginning to consider "Why does attentional behaviour appear the way it is, " This book charts the development of these ideas, through the examination of a variety of tasks considered to involve attentional behaviour, together with evidence from studies of patients, neurophysiology and cognitive modelling.
