Opis

When we are startled by the new, confronted with discrepancies, our knowing gives way to uncertainty - and changes. In this text, Jerome Kagan challenges scientific commonplaces about mental processes, pointing in particular to the significant but undervalued role of surprise and uncertainty in shaping behaviour, emotion, and thought.
