Summary

"The study of cognition has experienced rapid growth in the last decade. This topic is fundamental both to the science of psychology and to its applications to real-world problems. Yet there has traditionally been a huge gap between basic research and practice in this area. Experimental Cognitive Psychology and Its Applications aims to bridge this gap by bringing together a group of distinguished experimental psychologists who show how their findings can be applied in daily life." "This book will appeal to experimental psychologists; practitioners involved in training education, and testing; and students and researchers interested in the care issues of human cognition."--BOOK JACKET.
