Schweickert R., Sung K., Fisher D.L. Discovering Cognitive Architecture by Selectively Influencing Mental Processes

World Scientific, 2012. — 431 p. — (Advanced series on mathematical psychology). — ISBN: 9781283593588, 1283593580, 9789814277464, 9814277460One of the most successful methods for discovering the way mental processes are organized is to observe the effects in experiments of selectively influencing the processes. Selective influence is crucial in techniques such as Sternberg's additive factor method for reaction times and Jacoby's process dissociation procedure for accuracy. The successful uses of selective influence have encouraged application extensions to complex architectures, to dependent variables such as evoked potentials, and to complex interpretations. But the common themes have become lost in the details of separate uses a.Introduction to techniques
