Human Information Processing Vision, Memory, and Attention Edited by Charles Chubb, Barbara A. Dosher, Zhong-Lin Lu, and richard M. Shiffrin As we interact with our environment, our senses absorb large amounts of information that our brains interpret and catalogue. This sensory data then influences how we learn from our environment and interact with it in the future. Understanding the mechanisms by which we perceive, decipher, and retain information is key to understanding ourselves and answering the questions, "How do we learn?" and "How can we improve our learning experiences?" This book examines recent research on vision, memory, and attention, three topics that are key to understanding how humans absorb, process, retain, and learn from sensory information. Using computational models and methodologies, the authors explain vision, memory, and attention as individual processes and demonstrate how they interconnect to influence human information processing. The authors also describe real-world applications for this research, including technological advancements that can augment our senses and help us to gain more information from our environment.
