Description

Part of the "Wiley Psychophysiology Handbooks" series, this book describes the application of psychophysiology techniques to the study of human cognition. The editors have brought together a series of researchers who deal with serial, parallel and capacity models of information processing, attention, motor processing, mnemonic processing, language, cognitive development and aging. Through the volume, theoretical issues are explored using central and autonomonic indices. The book keeps theoretical issues to the fore but is closely based on research results.
