%0 Journal Article %T Focus: Attention Science: Spatial Biases in Perception and Cognition %J Archive of "The Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine". %D 2019 %X Spatial Biases in Perception and Cognition provides an in-depth examination of spatial biases and how they infiltrate a wider range of disciplines and fields than previously thought. The book has a relatively narrow range for its intended audience, consisting mostly of researchers and experts interested in perception, cognition, and the relationships between physical stimuli and mental responses, or psychophysics. The material is technically advanced and requires a strong background in psychology and understanding of spatial relationships. However, the book is structured to allow for some accessibility to the content by creating a narrative type progression, beginning with an introduction to spatial biases followed by prevailing theories in the field both from the past and present and concluding with how the frameworks are used to understand the effect of a person¡¯s ability to perform an action on perception, especially in social contexts. Each chapter in the book was written by authors specializing in certain subtopics within the field. %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6430166/
