This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction into the areas of human action planning and action control. It discusses the basic theoretical issues and questions in understanding the planning and control of human goal-directed action. The authors begin by presenting an integrative theoretical framework and the neurobiological foundations of action planning and execution. Subsequent chapters discuss how goals are represented and how they guide action control; how perception and action interact; how simple and complex actions are selected and planned; how multitasking works; and how actions are monitored. Topics of interest include: stimulus-triggered selections, rule-based selections, intentional action selections, and intuitive decision-making. Human Action Control is a must-have resource for advanced undergraduates, graduates, and doctorate students in cognitive psychology and related areas, such as the cognitive neurosciences, and developmental and social psychology.

„Handlungen“ sind ein zentrales Thema der Allgemeinen Psychologie und ein Bindeglied ihrer klassischen Bereiche, denn Wahrnehmung, Aufmerksamkeit, Gedächtnis und Denken sind Prozesse, die zumeist für einen bestimmten Zweck eingesetzt werden: zur Steuerung von Handlungen. Das Thema „Handlungen“ ist aber auch ein Bindeglied großer Fachgebiete, die in Forschung und Lehre immer mehr zusammenwachsen: u.a. Motivations-Psychologie, Sozial-, Arbeits- und Entwicklungspsychologie, aber auch Sportwissenschaften, Neurophysiologie und Biologie. Das Buch ist damit für Studierende der Allgemeinen Psychologie, aber auch anderer (psychologischer) Fächer interessant! Die prüfungsrelevanten Themen des Faches sind vollständig abgedeckt: Handlungsziele, die Verbindung von Wahrnehmung und Handlung, Auswahl und Planung von Handlungen, neurobiologische Grundlagen und Handlungsfehler. Eine begleitende Website enthält zahlreiche Lerntools für Studierende und Materialien für Dozenten.
