Wayne Wu's Attention was the first book to provide a systematic overview and assessment of different empirical and philosophical works on attention. In this revised and expanded second edition Wu discusses the following central topics and problems:

  • the nature of attention and the structure of the theory of attention.
  • explanatory integration of the psychology and neuroscience of attention.
  • attention's intimate relation to agency.
  • attention and memory.
  • the phenomenology of attention and attention as a gate on consciousness.
  • introspective attention of consciousness.
  • skill in attention.
  • the epistemology and ethics of attention.
  • attention in thought.
  • Updated throughout, this edition includes new chapters on working memory, automaticity and skill, and attention and ethics. The breadth of coverage provides materials for advanced students and researchers in psychology, cognitive science, and philosophy. Additional features include chapter summaries, a glossary, and suggestions for further reading, making this also an ideal introduction for those new to attention.
