Of central importance is how our brain is able to select information about our surroundings from the vast amount of information available to it. If we were unable to be selective we would simply be overwhelmed with information. Accordingly, `selective attention' is a matter of central concern to psychologists. Whereas the advent of information processing approaches has brought a wealth of new data there is still much confusion on the subject and no clear theory concerning selective attention in vision, the most important field of selective attention research. In this book, A. H. C. van der Heijden clarifies the complex concept of selective attention and presents an integrated account of the data. Selective Attention in Vision succeeds in presenting a clear and comprehensive theory that will be of importance to cognitive and experimental psychologists.
