«Applied Cognitive Psychology» is the cognitive psychology work by Paul J. Barber (Routledge, paperback, 200 pages, in English).
Barber applies perception, attention and cognition to everyday skills: choosing simple actions, recognising faces, reading and attending to multiple sources. Drawing on cases such as mental overload in air traffic controllers, the design of cooker hobs or the Photokit/identikit, he analyses the limits of the information-processing approach.
Work originally appeared in 1988; the present paperback edition was published in December 1990.
Intended as a textbook for psychology and ergonomics students; it may also serve those studying management, education or sports science.
