"In addition to asking what attention actually is, decomposing and analyzing its varieties
or revealing its neurobiological mechanisms, a full-fledged theory of attention must
consider its workings in the context of motivated, goal-directed and environmentally
constrained organisms. The essays compiled in this volume are aimed at making a contribution
towards this end. Specifically, the main conclusion that can be drawn is that fundamental
links exist between attention and two key processes that are crucial for adapted conduct:
goal-directed behavior and cognitive control. Importantly, both the mechanisms underlying
these processes, and the actual relations that exist between them, can and must be
explored at multiple levels, including neurodynamical, neurochemical, evolutionary
and clinical. The reader will find here an invitation to explore these numerous connections,
through a selection of contributions that range from basic mechanisms of attention
at the neuronal level to developmental aspects of cognitive control and its impairments."--Jacket
