Peer reviewedShiffrin, Richard M.; Schneider, Walter – Psychological Review, 1977
The two-process theory of detection, search, and attention presented by Schneider and Shiffrin (1977) is tested and extended in a series of experiments. The studies demonstrate the qualitative difference between two modes of information processing: automatic detection and controlled search. A general framework for human information processing is…
