What factors affect creativity and the generation of creative images? What factors affect the ability to re-interpret those images? Research described in this book indicates that expectations constrain both of these attributes of creativity.
This internationally authored volume presents major findings, concepts, and methods of behavioral neuroscience co-ordinated with their simulation via neural networks.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Discusses the general topics in human learning and cognition research, including inhibition, short term and long term memory, verbal memory, memory disruption, and scheduling and learning. This work also discusses cognitive neuroscience aspects of human learning. It focuses on human motor learning.
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.
Presenting an interdisciplinary discussion on mental models, this work tackles the following questions: What is a mental model? What are the prospects and limitations in applying the mental model notion in cognitive science? How can the ideas on the nature of mental models and their mode of operation be empirically substantiated?
This text provides an overview of the literature on bilingual sentence processing from a psycholinguistic and linguistic perspective. Research focuses on both the visual and spoken modalities, including specific areas of research interest.
'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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
