Cognitive Psychology on Performance - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 403 Performance/Cognitive Psychology/Matthews: Cognitive psychology (…) offers a number of levels at which performance data may be understood. Most broadly, it divides mental functioning into a number of broad areas such as attention, memory, language and so forth. Each may be sub-divided and sub-divided again until we have identified basic component processes. >Attention, >Memory. Attention: For example, attention is conventionally divided into several aspects or branches (Matthews, Davies, Westerman and Stammers 2000)(1). Selective attention refers to focusing on a source of stimuli (while ignoring distractors), divided attention to processing multiple input channels, and sustained attention to maintaining an attentional focus over extended time periods. Each one of these broad attentional functions appears to be supported by a number of separate processing components and brain systems. >Selective attention. 1. Matthews, G., Davies, D.
