Modeling Creativity and Knowledge-Based Creative Design
ISBN: 9780805811537 / Angielski / Twarda / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the last decade research into design processes utilizing ideas and models drawn from artificial intelligence has resulted in a better understanding of design -- particularly routine design -- as a process. Indeed, most of the current research activity directly or indirectly deals only with routine design. Not surprisingly, many practicing designers state that the level of understanding represented by these models is only of mild interest because they fail to embody any ideas about creativity. This volume provides a set of chapters in the areas of modeling creativity and...

Collective Memory of Political Events : Social Psychological Perspectives
ISBN: 9780805821826 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Research in collective memory is a relatively new area capturing the interest of scholars in social psychology, memory, sociology, and anthropology. The core idea is that collective attitudes and behaviors are created and shared through common experiences and communication among a cohort of people. For example, people born between 1940 and 1960 are often defined via the JFK assassination and the Vietnam War. Their parents typically experienced lesser impact from these events.

Judgment and Decision Making: Neo-Brunswikian and Process-Tracing Approaches
ISBN: 9780805832549 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Research on human judgment and decision making has been strongly guided by a normative/descriptive approach, according to which human decision making is compared to the normative models provided by decision theory, statistics, and the probability calculus. A common empirical finding has been that human behavior deviates from the prescriptions by normative models--that judgments and decisions are subject to cognitive biases.
It is interesting to note that Swedish research on judgment and decision making made an early departure from this dominating mainstream tradition, albeit in two...

Kids' Slips: What Young Children's Slips of the Tongue Reveal about Language Development
ISBN: 9780805835793 / Angielski / Twarda / 748 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The study of speech errors, or slips of the tongue, is a time-honored research window into language production and probably the most reliable source of data for building theories of production phenomena. However, until Kids' Slips, there has never been a corpus of such errors from children with which to work. Jaeger's book includes both details of her methodology and findings with implications for different aspects of language development, including phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. This book targets those who study language development in linguistics, developmental psychology,...
