9781332214556: Interference and Adaptability

Synopsis

This book presents a detailed study of interference and adaptability with a particular focus on individual differences. The author approaches the subject through a series of experiments that place subjects in conditions where they are asked to override a well-practised habit with a new one. Through the analysis of individual responses, the author explores the rate at which individuals adapt to these new situations and the extent to which the interference effect of the old habit influences this adaptation. The book complements a previous work by German experimental physiologist Hugo Münsterberg and expands on the ideas of Miiller and Schumann, Bergström and Baird. This book will be of particular interest to students and practitioners of experimental psychology, as well as those working in related fields that touch on adaptability and the overcoming of ingrained habits and associations.
