First published in 1983. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company. This monograph is a review of the evolution of George Briggs’ informationprocessing model from a general schema beginning with the work of Saul Sternberg (1969a) and Edward E. Smith (1968) to a fairly well-detailed schematic representation of central processes that Briggs was working on at the time of his early death. The development of Briggs’ model of the binary classification task (BCT) spanned the period from 1969 when he published his first report on choice reaction time with Blaha (Briggs & Blaha, 1969) to 1977 with the publication of a posthumous paper (Briggs, Thomason, & Hagman, 1978). The model evolved across a total of 16 experimental and 2 review papers.

This authoritative volume provides a well balanced and comprehensive treatment of the mathematical theory of human response time and the role it plays in our understanding of the mind's organization.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Machine Learning and Data Mining in Pattern Recognition, MLDM 2014, held in St. Petersburg, Russia in July 2014. The 40 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 128 submissions. The topics range from theoretical topics for classification, clustering, association rule and pattern mining to specific data mining methods for the different multimedia data types such as image mining, text mining, video mining and Web mining.
