A series of scientific case-histories
5: Paying Attentionby DONALD BROADBENT -
Director of the M.R.C. Unit of Applied Psychology, Cambridge 'About ten years ago I published an experiment which showed, or so I thought, that if you're attending to one source of information it takes time to shift attention away to something else.' Two Oxford undergraduates challenged Mr. Broadbent's conclusion, and everyone had to think again.
