..., where it arguably remains the strongest behavioral heuristic for interface design. This confluence of contribution to both fundamental theory and practical application served to facilitate the impact of multiple resources and Christopher Wickens' influence on the domains of both human factors...

... cognitive operations underlying attention and working memory. The chapter hopes to show that the work has relevance to the “applied attention” theme of this book by pointing out the routes toward application, much in the spirit of Christopher Wickens' research, which epitomizes theory-based application...

...To date, the design of most multimodal displays appears to have been based—implicitly or explicitly—on the original version of Christopher Wickens' multiple-resource theory (MRT). Based on MRT, the concurrent performance of multiple tasks should benefit to the extent that information related...

...Christopher Wickens' landmark book Engineering Psychology and Human Performance brought together the seemingly unrelated fields of cognitive psychology and engineering. This book and the two subsequent editions have had an enormous impact on engineering design and had garnered more...

...There is perhaps not a more laudable goal in engineering psychology than performance prediction. As many of the pioneers recognized, useful predictions are derived from scientific principles. This chapter examines the extent to which the performance predictions of Christopher Wickens' multiple...

... been well controlled by limited laboratory paradigms and phenomena. These types of basic and theoretically guided applied research on attention have benefited immeasurably from the work of Christopher Wickens. This book honors Wickens' many important contributions to the study of attention by bringing...
