'The control of complex dynamic tasks is a topic thatspans various and sundry cognitive and social sciences. Bringingunity to these studies has been hampered by differences in jargonand differences in paradigms. Magda Osman has turned herencyclopedic mind to this problem in an attempt to review thesediverse literatures from a common perspective. What she gains is atheoretical unity and purpose of vision that will advance thescientific study of the control of complex dynamic task for manyyears to come.'
--Professor Wayne D. Gray, Rensselaer PolytechnicInstitute, US
