Biography

Richard A. Block

"This...is a major-league try at integrating contemporary cognitive pychology with the study of psychological time....It is a must for anyone seriously interested in time research; it is a very valuable body of work for anyone interested in cognitive theory; and it is potentially very useful to anyone interested in complex dynamic models of psychological processes."
—Contemporary Psychology

" Summers and Burns provide a useful survey of current approaches to the timing of motor action, and Jackson presents an intelligent discussion of memory, especially short-term memory, for temporal relations."
—The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology

"...the book has much to offer. The contributions are scholarly and provide recent data and ideas on a broad range of topics....[this book] should be on a prominent bookshelf in every labratory engaged in research on time."
—American Journal of Psychology
