Osman also has a great chapter on the physiology of attention in a cognitive
science book.

(6) Annual Reviews of Psychology: A great place to get an overview of the major
issues in any topic area is the Annual Reviews of Psychology. Several chapters
have been devoted to attention. Some of the topics included in these chapters
match the text material, such as early vs. late selection, theories of attention, and
processing of non-attended stimuli. Some specific resources are provided below.

Psychology, 58, 1-23.

(7) Eye movements and Attention: The textbook reviews some research on
scanning and attention, but instructors may want to expand on this fascinating
area of attention. The classic work in this area is by Yarbus (as cited in Chapter
6). Noton and Stark are credited with coining the term “scan paths,” a concept
mentioned in Chapter 6. Another major researcher in this area is Eileen Kowler
from Rutgers University; a sample of her work is listed below also.
