520 _aVol. 1 provides the major theoretical views regarding attention. Contains articles advocating early - and late - selection theories, and the solution to this issue posed by load theory. Articles on unitary - and multiple resource theories are provided, followed by those considering the relation between attention and automaticity. Concludes with recent article on brain mechanisms. Vol. 2 emphasizes visual attention. Starts with articles on perceptual features and their integration and followed by several articles on spatial aspects of attention, including the concept of an attentional spotlight and factors involed in the orientation of attention. The issue of wether attention is space-based is considered. The final articles cover topics relating to inhibition, including change business, negative priming, and stopping performance of a task. Vol. 3 is devoted to auditory and crossmodal attention. Begins with the classic studies on selective listening, consideration of wether the meaning of unattended stimuli is processed, and divided attention. Auditory attention is covered, followed by articles on auditory spatial attention and frequency / time that relate to issues covered in vol.2, with issues on crossmodal attention and interactions between sensory modalities which have been prominent in recent research. Vol 4 is devoted to the roles of attention in memory and action. Begins with articles with classic work on readout from sensory memeory and semantic priming. Articles included are on attentional blink , action control, relation between attention and control of eye movement, and the role of attention in linking perception and action. A section on two major correspondence effects are presented (the stroop and flanker effects), spatial correspondence effects, the Simon effect, and the role of attention in the effect, dual task performance on task switching and psychological refractory period effect.
