Attention: Theory and Practice provides a balance between a readable overview of attention and an emphasis on how theories and paradigms for the study of attention have developed. The book highlights the important issues and major findings while giving sufficient details of experimental studies, models, and theories so that results and conclusions are easy to follow and evaluate. Rather than brushing over tricky technical details, the authors explain them clearly, giving readers the benefit of understanding the motivation for and techniques of the experiments in order to allow readers to think through results, models, and theories for themselves. Attention is an accessible text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, as well as an important resource for researchers and practitioners interested in gaining an overview of the field of attention.

RESTRICTED: SUCCESS MINDED ADULTS ONLY! "YOUR INNER EDGE" Enhance Your Personal Performance and Warrior Spirit! If a picture is worth a thousand words then a personal experience is worth a thousand pictures! Indeed, knowledge is not power until it becomes a lived, experienced reality. The power in this book cannot be adequately understood, appreciated or even believed until it's outlined techniques and personal experiements are actually experienced and put to the test! "Your Inner Edge" outlines techniques, principles and personal experiments which comprise an amazing "Inner Technology." Internal Technology (I.T.) acts as a key to unlock a treasure chest of dormant mental/physical abilities and enhanced personal performance capability within whomever follows it's simple instructions. Readers enjoy a sense of exhilaration as they feel themselves immediately grow stronger, faster, smarter, tougher and sharper! They are then guided in focusing their enhanced personal power for greater achievement, self-development and super-motivating inner "flow"! I.T.'s methods are based, easy to learn, quickly implemented and extremely effective yet remain little understood and underutilized by the people who could benefit the most. These are: *people who acknowledge that their financial compensation and level of success depend on their own persoanl creativity, initiative and productivity, *individuals adventurous enough to experience a bold system of self-development that utilizes modern Western behavioral science techniques proven to enhance and sustain performance and motivation and, *action oriented people willing to explore the "inner technology" of ancient Eastern martial arts and philosophy for developing laser-like concentration, mental clarity, personal power and the fighting spirit needed to win life's battles! WARNING: The author has determined that exposure to this book can be hazardous to self-limiting beliefs! This information has been shown to cause an uncontrollable urge in test subjects to succeed from the inside-out and achieve a more affluent, secure future for themselves and their loved ones!

Anxious individuals preferentially attend to threat-relevant information in their environment. Furthermore, it may be possible to train attentional bias. Moreover, experimentally decreasing or increasing attentional bias for threat appears to decrease anxiety following stressful tasks. Given that anxiety is characterized by poor attentional control, one possible explanation for these findings may be that attention training programs target more general attention control processes. The primary goal of the current study was to test whether an attentional training paradigm using emotionally neutral stimuli would be effective in modifying attentional bias, improving general attention control, and would be effective in mitigating anxiety following a social stressor. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two probe detection conditions (i.e., active training versus control). Results revealed that participants who received active attention training developed a relative bias in the anticipated direction, but only for trials low in perceptual load. Additionally, these participants demonstrated significantly more improvement on an independent assessment of attention control than did participants in the control condition. Groups did not differ in self-reported anxiety or performance quality following the stressor. Results suggest that attention training programs promote attention control. Results are consistent with the account that emotional versions of the attention training task may improve attention control in the context of threat.

A breakthrough, drug-free approach to stress and stress-related illnesses—from anxiety and depression to ADHD and chronic pain—using simple attention exercises with powerful results on physical and mental health This breakthrough book presents a disarmingly simple idea: The way we pay attention in daily life can play a critical role in our health and well-being. According to Dr. Les Fehmi, a clinical psychologist and researcher, many of us have become stuck in "narrow-focus attention": a tense, constricted, survival mode of attention that holds us in a state of chronic stress—and which lies at the root of common ailments including anxiety, depression, ADD, stress-related migraines, and more. To improve these conditions, Dr. Fehmi explains that we must learn to return to a relaxed, diffuse, and creative form of attention, which he calls "Open Focus." This highly readable and empowering book offers straightforward explanations and simple exercises on how to shift into a more calm, open style of attention that reduces stress, improves health, and enhances performance. The Open-Focus Brain features eight essential attention exercises for improving health. Dr. Fehmi writes, "Everyone has the ability to heal their nervous systems, to dissolve their pain, to slow down and yet accomplish more, to experience the deeper side of life—in short, to change their lives for the better dramatically." At last readers can learn the techniques that Dr. Fehmi has offered to thousands of clients—the same drug-free, safe, and effective techniques that have led to remarkable and long-lasting results. The eBook includes a downloadable audio program that provides further guidance on: • essential attention exercises from the book, led by Dr. Fehmi • how to "train the brain" to reduce stress, anxiety, chronic pain, and more • safe and effective techniques used in Dr. Fehmi's clinic for decades

From the best-selling author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and After Dark, a rich and revelatory memoir about writing and running, and the integral impact both have made on his life. In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Haruki Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he’d completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a slew of critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and—even more important—on his writing. Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and includes settings ranging from Tokyo’s Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvellous lens of sport emerges a cornucopia of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs and the experience, after the age of fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back. By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is both for fans of this masterful yet guardedly private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in distance running.

Written by leading experts in the field, this invaluable text situates the practice of cognitive and behavioral rehabilitation in the latest research from neurobiology and cognitive neuroscience. Initial chapters review current findings on neuronal injury, plasticity, and recovery. The volume next examines the neurobiology of core cognitive domains--attention, memory, language, visuospatial awareness, and executive functioning--focusing on the processes underpinning both healthy and impaired functioning. Highlighting the practical applications of the research, authors describe available interventions in each domain and set forth clear recommendations for clinical practice. Also addressed are ways to understand and manage challenging behaviors, such as aggression, that may emerge in brain-injured persons. The concluding chapter provides overall strategies for helping people recover from the two most common forms of acquired neurological disability: traumatic brain injury and stroke.
