Originally published in 1984, Cognitive Psychophysiology: Event-related
Potentials and the Study of Cognition is the first volume to come out
of The Carmel Conferences: designed to examine in detail the assertion
that the endogenous components of the Event-Related Brain Potential
(ERP) can serve as a tool in the analysis of cognition. The intent of
this book was to examine on a rather broad front the claims of cognitive
psychophysiology to a niche in the domain of cognitive science.
Discussions included: selective attention; the ERP and decision and
memory processes; preparatory processes; mental chronometry; perceptual
processes; individual differences and clinical applications. It provides
an interesting snapshot of the status of ERP research just as it was
venturing assertively into cognitive science.
