Research is concerned with information processing, short-term memory, and human factors. The ultimate goal is to be able to give an account of how a subject spends the time between seeing a stimulus and making a response.
How much of the time is used for, say, perception? Can some other mental activities go on while perception is occurring? If so, how could we find out which ones they are? Or, if several processes have to go on one at a time, what determines their order of execution? Ideas are drawn from the mathematical theory of scheduling, as applied in particular to the scheduling of jobs on computers. |
