Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of attention, exploring its mechanisms and intricacies. While many psychologists of the time primarily focused on the effects of attention, the author takes a different approach, delving into the underlying processes that govern this essential cognitive function. The author posits two distinct forms of attention: spontaneous and voluntary. Spontaneous attention, often overlooked, is deemed the foundational form, driven by our emotions and inherent interests. Conversely, voluntary attention is cultivated through education and effort, enabling us to focus on tasks that may not be inherently captivating. The book delves into the physiological aspects of attention, exploring how it manifests in changes in blood flow, respiration, and bodily movements. The author argues that these physical changes are not merely consequences of attention but integral components of its mechanism, highlighting the interconnectedness of mind and body. The exploration extends to the realm of the abnormal, examining conditions like fixed ideas and ecstasy, where attention becomes distorted or amplified. Through these investigations, the book reveals the profound influence of attention on our lives, shaping our thoughts, actions, and overall well-being.
