But in addition to asking what attention actually is, decomposing and analyzing its varieties, or delimiting its neurobiological mechanisms and effects, in this volume we want to explore attention somewhat differently. We believe that a full-fledged theory of attention must consider its workings in the context of motivated, goal-directed, and environmentally constrained organisms. That attention is related to goal-directed behavior is not news. What the contri- tions to this volume do suggest, however, is the existence of fundamental links between attention and two key processes that are crucial for adapted conduct: go- directed behavior and cognitive control. Importantly, they show that these relations can be explored at multiple levels, including neurodynamical, neurochemical, evo- tionary, and clinical aspects, and that in doing so multiple methodological challenge | 出版日期 | Book 2009 | 关键词 | attention; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); attentional deficit-hyperactivity disorder | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-70573-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-08951-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-540-70573-4 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2009 |
