Reviews

Attention and language are isolable but also interacting cognitive systems. Each system is a complex of deeply interconnected components; consequently the nature of their interactions is an exciting and multifaceted domain for cognitive science thinking and research. In this exciting volume Ramesh Mishra thoroughly and intelligently explores this domain. (Raymond Klein, University Research Professor, Dalhousie University, Canada)


The relationship between attention and language has been the subject of extensive and continuing debate in cognitive science. Ramesh Mishra does the reader an impressive service weaving into accessible form the various findings and theories from this important area of cognitive science. And yet, beyond current findings and debate, the book also touches on the empirical and theoretical history of this domain, resulting in a very comprehensive treatment. (Rick Dale, Associate Professor, University of California, Merced) Attention and language are isolable but also interacting cognitive systems. Each system is a complex of deeply interconnected components; consequently the nature of their interactions is an exciting and multifaceted domain for cognitive science thinking and research.
