• The Measurement of Attention
  Daniel J. Kindlon
   
  Abstract - This review examines some of the definitional issues of attention and the related constructs of working memory and executive
  control. Measurement approaches to two attention elements, inattention and impulsivity, which are relevant to the diagnosis of attention
  deficit hyperactivity disorder, are also explored. Features of Stroop and Stroop-like tasks, continuous performance tests, and assessment
  paradigms that have a volitional or motivational aspect, such as delay of gratification, are highlighted. The conclusions emphasise the
  multidimensional nature of attentional constructs and the care that must be taken when attempting to measure a single attentional element.

  Abstract - A model for conceptualizing the components or elements of attention is presented. The model substitutes for the diffuse and
  global concept of attention a group of four processes and links them to a putative system of cerebral structures. Data in support of the
  model are presented; they are derived from neuropsychological test scores obtained from two samples, the first consisting of 203 adult
  neuropsychiatric patients and normal control subjects, and the second, an epidemiologically-based sample of 435 elementary school children.
  Principal components analyses of test scores from these two populations yielded similar results: a set of independent elements of attention
  that are assayed by different tests. This work presents a heuristic for clinical research in which the measurement of attention is essential.

  Book Description - Written by a clinical neuropsychologist and a cognitive psychologist, this work presents an integrated view of the multi-faceted concept of attention. In neuropsychology, attention has different meanings depending on the nature of the neurological disorder and the theoretical background of the investigator. To provide insight into these theoretical backgrounds, this volume opens with a discussion of psychological and neurobiological theories of attention. The book does not adopt a particular theoretical orientation but tries to clarify the various conceptualizations of attention that are encountered in the literature. Throughout, the book critically reviews the literature on attentional deficits in frequently occurring neurological conditions such as traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and epilepsy. This material is organized according to the types of tasks used to investigate attention, such as tests of focused, divided and sustained attention. The book concludes with three chapters on topics that underline its practical aim: assessment of attention, the relationship between test performance and everyday activities, and the rehabilitation of impairments of attention. This comprehensive work will be invaluable to neuropsychologists, neurologists, clinical psychologists, gerontologists, and rehabilitation specialists.
