Das Lehrbuch Allgemeine Psychologie bietet einen umfassenden Einblick in zentrale Aspekte menschlichen Erlebens und Verhaltens. Hierbei stehen Prozesse und Mechanismen der psychischen Vorgänge im Vordergrund, welche aus kognitions- und neurowissenschaftlicher Perspektive betrachtet werden. Inhaltlich werden in diesem Standardwerk folgende wesentliche Themenbereiche dargestellt: 1. Wahrnehmung und Aufmerksamkeit 2. Emotion und Motivation 3. Lernen und Gedächtnis 4. Sprachproduktion und verstehen 5. Denken und Problemlösen 6. Handlungsplanung und ausführung Die Kapitel sind von Spezialisten des jeweiligen Gebietes geschrieben. Diese dritte Auflage wurde grundlegend aktualisiert und durch zusätzliche Kapitel zur multisensorischen Verarbeitung, zum logischen Denken, zu Urteilen und Entscheiden, zum motorischen Lernen und zu Embodied Cognition und Agency ergänzt. Die Inhalte werden nun durch konkrete Anwendungsbeispiele aus der Forschung für die Praxis und informative, farbige Illustrationen und ein didaktisch ausgereiftes Layout noch stärker veranschaulicht. Wie auch die ersten beiden Auflagen bietet diese Auflage eine kompetente Einführung für Studierende, die ideal ist zur Prüfungsvorbereitung im Bachelor und Masterstudium. Gleichzeitig ist dieses Werk ein optimales Nachschlagewerk für wissenschaftlich und praktisch arbeitende Psychologen und Personen benachbarter Disziplinen. Über www.lehrbuch-psychologie.de werden für Studierende und Dozenten hilfreiche Online-Zusatzmaterialien zur Verfügung gestellt. Zu den Herausgebern: Jochen Müsseler ist Professor für Arbeits und Kognitionspsychologie an der RWTH Aachen University. Martina Rieger ist Professorin für Allgemeine und Experimentelle Psychologie an der UMIT, Hall in Tirol.

The book is concerned with the cognitive contributions to perception, that is, with the influence of attention, intention, or motor processes on performances in spatial and temporal tasks. The chapters deal with fundamental perceptual processes resulting from the simple localization of an object in space or from the temporal determination of an event within a series of events. Chapters are based on presentations given at the Symposium on the Cognitive Contributions to the Perception of Spatial and Temporal Events (September 7-9, 1998, Ohlstadt, Germany). Following each chapter are commentary pieces from other researchers in the field. At the meeting, contributors were encouraged to discuss their theoretical positions along with presenting empirical results and the book's commentary sections help to preserve the spirit and controversies of the symposium. The general topic of the book is split into three parts. Two sections are devoted to the perception of unimodal spatial and temporal events; and are accompanied by a third part on spatio-temporal processes in the domain of intermodal integration. The themes of the book are highly topical. There is a growing interest in studies both with healthy persons and with patients that focus on localization errors and dissociations in localizations resulting from different tasks. These errors lead to new concepts of how visual space is represented. Such deviations are not only observed in the spatial domain but in the temporal domain as well. Typical examples are errors in duration judgments or synchronization errors in tapping tasks. In addition, several studies indicate the influence of attention on both the timing and on the localization of dynamic events. Another intriguing question originates from well-known interactions between intermodal events, namely, whether these events are based on a single representation or whether different representations interact.

The integration of multisensory information is an essential mechanism in perception and in controlling actions. Research in multisensory integration is concerned with how the information from the different sensory modalities, such as the senses of vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and proprioception, are integrated to a coherent representation of objects. Multisensory integration is central for action control. For instance, when you grasp for a rubber duck, you can see its size and hear the sound it produces. Moreover, identical physical properties of an object can be provided by different senses. You can both see and feel the size of the rubber duck. Even when you grasp for the rubber duck with a tool (e.g. with tongs), the information from the hand, from the effect points of the tool and from the eyes are integrated in a manner to act successfully. Over the recent decade a surge of interest in multisensory integration and action control has been witnessed, especially in connection with the idea that multiple sensory sources are integrated in an optimized way. For this perspective to mature, it will be helpful to delve deeper into the information processing mechanisms and their neural correlates, asking about the range and constraints of this mechanisms, about its localization and involved networks.
