Main description:
This book gathers together 10 important integrative theoretical approaches to stimulus-response compatibility, a field of special interest for the more general question of how human perception and action interact. The approaches, presented by their most active and influential proponents, as well as the sharp and critical commentaries also included in the book, cover a wide range of theoretical schools of thought and a rich body of empirical data.These highly stimulating papers and sharp comments offer both the theoretically interested professional and the student reader not only a comprehensive overview of the state of the art, but excellent insights into work in progress as well. This volume is an important contribution to the deeper understanding of the sensory-motor interface.
