Human Performance provides the student and researcher with a comprehensive and accessible review of performance, in the real world and essential cognitive science theory. Four main sections cover both theoretical and practical issues: Section One outlines the perspectives on performance offered by contemporary cognitive science, including information processing and neuroscience perspectives. Section Two presents a multi-level view of the performer as biological organism, information-processor and intentional agent. It reviews the development of the cognitive theory of performance through experimental studies and also looks at practical issues such as human error. Section Three reviews the impact of stress factors such as noise, fatigue and illness on performance. Section Four assesses individual and group differences in performance with accounts of ability, personality and aging.

Publisher Description
A generation after the U.S. conquest of California, Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo set out to write the story of the land he knew so well—a history to dispel the romantic vision quickly overtaking the state’s recent past. The five-volume history he produced, published here for the first time in English translation, is the most complete account of California before the gold rush by someone who resided in California at the time. Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo (1807–90) grew up in Spanish California, became a leading military and political figure in Mexican California, and participated in some of the founding events of U.S. California, such as the Monterey Constitutional Convention and the first le...
This volume constitutes the proceedings of the third International Workshop on Static Analysis (WSA`93), held in Padova, Italy, in September 1993. The objective of the international workshop series WSA is to serve as a forum for the discussion of the various aspects of static analysis in different programming paradigms. The clearly increasing mumbers of submitted papers and workshop participants point out the growing importance of static analysis techniques for logical, functional, concurrent and parallel languages as well as for parallel term rewriting systems. This proceedings contains, besides the abstracts or full papers of the invited talks given by Pascal Van Hentenryck, Peter van Roy, and Paul Hudak, full versions of the 20 contributed papers selected from a total of 68 submissions by an international program committee consisting of many renown researchers in the field. The volume is organized in sections on fixpoint computation, concurrency, parallelism, transformation, logic programs, term rewriting systems, strictness, reasoning about programs, and types.
