Forming connections between human performance and design, this new edition of Engineering Psychology and Human Performance examines human–machine interaction …
Recent theoretical developments in the field of absolute identification have stressed differences between relative and absolute processes, that is, whether stimulus magnitudes …
" The question for me is how can the human mind occur in the physical universe. We now know that the world is governed by physics. We now understand the way biology nestles …
In unidimensional absolute identification tasks, participants identify stimuli that vary along a single dimension. Performance is surprisingly poor compared with discrimination of the …
Higher-level cognition depends on the ability to learn models of the world. We can characterize this at the computational level as a structure-learning problem with the goal of …

CA Thompson, JE Opfer - Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2008 - Elsevier
Studies have reported high correlations in accuracy across estimation contexts, robust transfer of estimation training to novel numerical contexts, and adults drawing mistaken …
The effects of stimulus frequency and bandwidth on distance perception were examined for nearby sources in simulated reverberant space. Sources to the side [containing …
