Attention: from theory to practice

Attention Has Been One Of The Most Popular Subjects In Basic Cognitive-psychology Research, And So Its Study Has Generated Much Empirical Data And Many Theoretical Explanations. Leading Researchers Explain How Advantage Can Be Taken Of All The Knowledge Amassed On Attention In Basic-science Research.
