  • - Psychological and Geographical Approaches
     
    1 662,-

    Both geography and psychology are capable of increasing our scientific knowledge of how human behaviour is interfaced with the physical environment. This text contains contributions from researchers in both fields, identifying the importance of two-way interdisciplinary communication.

    In the study of the computational structure of biological/robotic sensorimotor systems, distributed models have gained center stage. This book addresses this research area providing a set of articulated presentations which include reviews, computational models, simulation studies, psychophysical, and neurophysiological experiments.

    There has been a major growth in research on how memory is used in everyday life. This volume aims to represent a reaction to traditional laboratory-bound studies of the first half of the century which sought to identify the fundamental principles of learning and memory through the use of materials and methods totally divorced from the real world.

    Stimulus class formation has been studied independently by two groups of researchers. One group has come out of a learning theory approach, while the second has developed out of a behavior analytic tradition. This book is aimed at further establishing the ties between these two research areas.

  • - In Search of a Humane Interface
     
    2 419,-

    A collection that initiates explorations of the human mind via the technologies the mind produces. It covers such topics as: using technology to empower the cognitively impaired; the ethics versus aesthetics of technology; and, the externalisation of emotive and affective life and its special dialectic ('mirror') effects.

  •  
    1 914,-

    Aims to give an integrative approach of time sense and to focus the analysis on temporal factors in the processing of movement, trying to link temporal perception studies in the final common pathway, that is motion. This work also seeks to give some clues of human brain integrative processes at higher levels.

  •  
    2 335,-

    Contains contributors who work on sensory-motor aging and presents a large range of affiliations and backgrounds including psychology, neurobiology, cognitive sciences, kinesiology, neuropsychology, neuropharmacology, motor performance, physical therapy, exercise science, and human development.

  •  
    2 167,-

    Deals with fundamental perceptual processes resulting from the simple localization of an object in space or from the temporal determination of an event within a series of events. This book includes two sections that are devoted to the perception of unimodal spatial and temporal events.

  •  
    2 570,-

    Takes as a starting point, John Dewey's article, The Reflex Arc Concept in Psychology, in which Dewey was calling for, in short, the utilisation of systems theories within psychology, theories of behaviour that capture its nature as a vastly-complex dynamic coordination of nested coordinations.

  • av K. (Psychology Department Hillner
    1 746,-

    Interprets Henry Sidgwick's statement to mean that psychology is relevant for ethics or that psychological knowledge contributes to the construction of an ethical reality. This work analyzes and demonstrates why exposition on the relevance of psychology for ethical reality is necessary and germane.

  •  
    3 092,-

    Aims to highlight the vigour, diversity and insight of the various cognitive science perspectives on personality and emotion. This book also aims to emphasise the rigorous scientific basis for research to be found in the integration of experimental psychology with neuroscience, connectionism and the evolutionary psychology.

  •  
    905,-

    This volume presents studies relating to grasp movement and aims to provide a necessary and valuable contribution to the field of motor control. Evolutionary and developmental aspects are included together with descriptions of how this movement is affected by nervous system damage.

  • - Structure and Development
     
    905,-

    Aims to contribute to the integration of three traditions that have remained separate in psychology - the developmental, the psychometric, and the cognitive tradition. This text offers answers to questions such as: What is common to intelligence, mind, and reasoning? And, what is specific to each of these three aspects of human knowing?

  • - A Cross-Cultural Approach to Cognitive Psychology
     
    905,-

    Can the study of cognition across cultures lead to conclusions about human cognition in general? This book attempts to look at this issue of universals by providing a compendium of cross cultural investigations in areas of cognitive psychology.

  • - Impasse and Solution
    av M. H. Bickhard & L. Terveen
    1 426 - 2 335,-

    Many people have discovered diverse manifestations and facets of conceptual flaw, but the central conceptual impasse is at best only partially perceived. This book focuses on a conceptual flaw in contemporary artificial intelligence and cognitive science. It proposes and examines interactivism, an alternative model of representation.

  • - Developing Motivation and Motivating Development
     
    1 460,-

    This book grew out of the conference "Motivational Psychology of Ontogenesis" held at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, Germany, in May 1998. It brings together scholars from three major areas in psychology - developmental, motivational and lifespan.

  • - Current developments in Cognitive Psychology, Neuroscience and Philosophy of Mind
    av Markus Knauff, Carsten Held & Gottfried Vosgerau
    1 394,-

    'Cognitive psychology', 'cognitive neuroscience', and 'philosophy of mind' are names for three different scientific fields, but they label aspects of the same scientific goal: to understand the nature of mental phenomena. This book presents views from the different disciplines on the theory of mental models.

  • - Psychological and Neurobehavioural Analyses
     
    1 880,-

    Time is both a dimension of behaviour and a ubiquitous controlling variable in the lives of all living things. This book presents the progress in quantitative analysis of timing behaviour. It gives an analysis of the neurobiological substrate of timing behaviour and covers the experimental analysis of interval timing.

    Attempts to bring together a collection of approaches to, and related empirical investigations on, the development of coordination in the first two years of life. This book is intended to scientists and students in, for example, biology, human movement sciences, kinesiology, psychology, pediatrics, physiology, physical education, and robotics.

    Intends to describe those perceptual and cognitive components which contribute to skilled motor performance in sports, microsurgery, video games, and speech. This volume is suitable for kinesiologists, sport psychologists, physical educators, and cognitive psychologists who are interested in a different perspective on the nature of motor skills.

  • - Segmentation and Grouping in Vision
     
    1 822,-

    Since objects occlude themselves and each other, the information available for seeing objects is fragmentary. This book addresses the problem of how the human visual system organizes inputs that are fragmented in space and time into coherent, stable perceptual units - objects.

  • - Multiple Perspectives on Attentional Capture
    av Charles Folk & Bradley Gibson
    1 484,-

    In June of 2000, 40 experimental psychologists converged on Villanova University for a conference and workshop on attentional capture. This book presents a collection of chapters based on those presentations and discussions.

    Concentrates on age differences in word and language processing, because these factors relate to reading which is a critical cognitive process used in everyday life. This book attempts to demonstrate the utility of the process-specific approach to cognitive aging.

  • av C. (Arbeitsbereich WSV Habel & G. (Fakultat fur Linguistik und Literaturwissenschaft Rickheit
    2 082,-

    Presenting an interdisciplinary discussion on mental models, this work tackles the following questions: What is a mental model?
