| Sumario: | Part of a special issue on visual attention. The writers discuss the basic response time tools for studying general processing capacity in attention, perception, and cognition. They reveal that capacity is one of the most important constructs in the study of attention, perception, and cognition, and they propose a more precise treatment of this construct. They demonstrate how the distribution of response times can be utilized to derive measures of process capacity and to further demonstrate how these measures can be employed to examine important theories in cognition. |
