520    "One thing that separates human beings from the rest of 
       the animal world is our ability to control behavior by 
       referencing internal plans, goals, and rules. This ability,
       which is crucial to our success in a complex social 
       environment, depends on the purposeful generation of "task
       sets"--states of mental readiness that allow each of us to
       engage with the world in a particular way or achieve a 
       particular aim. This book reports the latest research 
       regarding the activation, maintenance, and suppression of 
       task sets. Chapters from many of the world's leading 
       researchers in task switching and cognitive control 
       investigate key issues in the field, from how we select 
       the most relevant task when presented with distracting 
       alternatives, to how we maintain focus on a task ("eyes on
       the prize") and switch to a new one when our goals or 
       external circumstances change. Chapters also explore the 
       brain structures responsible for these abilities, how they
       develop during childhood, and whether they decline due to 
       normal aging or neurological disorders. Of interest 
       especially to scholars and students of cognitive 
       psychology, the volume offers thorough, multi-disciplinary
       coverage of contemporary research and theories concerning 
       this fundamental yet mysterious aspect of human brain 
       function and behavior"--|cProvided by publisher.
