Since the end of the nineteenth century, three ?elds of psychology have attempted to understand the human mind: cognitive, differential and developmental psychology. Each of these ?elds was and still is driven by different epistemological assumptions regarding the nature of the human mind, has adopted different priorities in regard to the aspects of the mind to be studied, and has used different methods for the investigation of the phenomena of interest. Speci?cally, cognitive psychology focused primarily on the more dynamic aspects of mental functioning to explain how information from the environment is recorded, represented, stored and processed for the purpose of understanding, problem solving and decision making in real time. Thus, the primary aim of research and theory in this ?eld was to model the ?ow and processing of information in the mind. In general, according to this tradition, the human mind is an information processing system operating under limited representational and processing resources. Therefore, three aspects of the mind are of utmost importance in this tradition: representational capacity, control of processing and ef?ciency. Change in the information processing tradition is conceived as increasing automatization of performance on a given task. This is equivalent to saying that, with experience and practice, the control of performance shifts from the monitoring and regulation of central control processes to the forces underlying the dynamic organization of task-speci?c performance and the inter-connection of the components involved in this performance with the task-relevant environmental stimuli.
