Handbook of Applied Cognition

Written by a leading team of international researchers, this second edition of the Handbook of Applied Cognition brings together the latest research into this challenging and important field, and is presented across thirty stimulating and accessible chapters. Stewarded by experienced editors from around the globe, this edition has been fully updated with eleven new chapters covering materials that focus on the topics critical to understanding human mental functions in complex environments.
The book is divided into three distinct sections, beginning by reviewing the relevant work on the basic processes that underlie application, and fundamental phenomena such as teamwork and human error. The second section discusses the approaches for solving problems of humans dealing with complex technologies and business. These chapters untangle the issues presented when studying cognition in terms of computers, transportation, industrial systems and sport. The final section examines the interaction of the human mind with society and culture. It covers subjects such as forensics, instruction, law and mental health, as well as consumer psychology and the influence of media on cognition.
This new edition of the Handbook of Applied Cognition will act as an authoritative, single source and reference for researchers, cognitive engineers and applied cognitive psychologists. It will also appeal to advanced students covering the flourishing field of applied cognition.

Frank Durso received his PhD from SUNY at Stony Brook and his BS from Carnegie–Mellon University. He is Professor of Psychology at Texas Tech University on the faculties of the human factors program and the applied cognition program. He currently is president–elect of APA’s Applied Experimental division, is chair of the Aerospace Technical Group of Human Factors and on the executive council of the Society for Applied Research on Memory and Cognition. He was President of the Southwestern Psychological Association and founder of the Oklahoma Psychological Society. A fellow of APA and APS, he serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, Human Factors, Air Traffi c Control Quarterly, and Cognitive Technology. He is recipient of the Regents’ Award for Research and the Kenneth E. Crook award for instruction from the University of Oklahoma where he served as professor and founding director of OU’s Human–Technology Interaction Center. He has been funded by NSF and the FAA, the latter continuously since 1990. His research interests have focused on cognitive factors in dynamic situations, in particular air traffi c control. He is coauthor (with Nancy Cooke) of the forthcoming book titled Stories of Human–Technology Failures and Cognitive Engineering Successes designed to promote cognitive engineering to students and the public.
