Attention and Performance VII Proceedings of the Seventh International Symposium on Attention and Performance, Senanque, France, August 1-6, 1976

Edited By Jean Requin Copyright 1978

    Originally published in 1978, this seventh volume of an international series continues the objective to increase and disseminate scientific knowledge in the area of human attention, performance and information processing, and to foster international communication in this area. This volume covers the following topics: time in perception; word perception and reading; speech perception and coding; hemisphere differences; response and physiological processes; theories and models. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.
