This volume focuses on the modeling of cognition, and brings together contributions from psychologists and researchers in the field of cognitive science. The shared platform of this work is to advocate a dynamical systems approach to cognition. Several aspects of this approach are considered here: chaos theory, artificial intelligence and Alife models, catastrophe theory and, most importantly, self-organization theory or synergetics. The application of nonlinear systems theory to cognitive science in general, and to cognitive psychology in particular, is a growing field that has gained...

This edited volume is scientifically based, but readable for a larger audience, covering the concept of "embodied cognition" and its implications from a transdisciplinary angle. The contributions are from the fields of psychology, computer science, biology, philosophy, and psychiatry. First, the roots of embodiment are described with historical, computer-science, and phenomenological viewpoints. It is argued that embodied cognition is relevant for the discussion of intentionality, with a particular focus on underlying neural processes as well as the context of synergetics and...

Self-organization and clinical psychology signals the advent of a new paradigm in psychology. Physicists, neuroscientists and individual and grouptherapists have joined forces to elucidate the new and exciting advances that are being achieved by applying the concepts of non-linear dynamics and self-organization to the human nervous system and the mind.

Modelle der Selbstorganisation haben in der Psychologie und Medizin einen zentralen Stellenwert bekommen. Sie erklaren die spontane Entstehung und Veranderung von Ordnungszustanden in komplexen Systemen. Vor allem geht es dabei um Formen dynamischer Ordnung, z. B. um chaotische Prozesse. Die Prinzipien der Selbstorganisation liegen unterschiedlichsten biologischen, psychischen und sozialen Phanomenen zugrunde, z. B. der (Gestalt-)Wahrnehmung, der Konstruktion von Sinn und Bedeutung, der Entstehung affektiv-kognitiver Strukturen (unter anderem bei psychischen Storungen wie der...
