FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY - CHECK BEFORE USING IN CATALOGUES There is a tendency for cognitive psychology to be perceived by students as an academic subject devoid of real applications, and organisational psychology has tended to regard developments based on laboratory experimentation as irrelevant to "real world" problems. This book aims to present an alternative perspective, claiming that the majority of activities at work include cognitive aspects, consideration of which can improve the effectiveness of the organisational psychologist. The book opens with a brief review of the two areas (so that it can be approached from either discipline) before going on to examine issues such as selection, training and cognitive ergonomics.
