Choice Deferral in Trade-off Decisions
ISBN: 9783639369182 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The ability to make decisions is essential to our everyday life. We are what we decide. However, in real life, we may put off making decisions (i.e., decision deferral), which could have serious consequences. For example, regarding medical decisions, if we keep on putting off making decisions, it might have negative consequences on our health. The present study explored various factors that correlated with choice deferral. Using MouselabWEB to trace how participants' process information, our findings revealed that different processing strategies combined with different processing time...

Shona Lexical Tone Processing
ISBN: 9783639373929 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This dissertation investigates the production and perception of Shona lexical tone at the disyllabic level. The focus is two fold; i) the effect of brain lesions on the production and perception of lexical tone, ii) the influence of linguistic experience with pitch contrasts on the ability to perceive Shona lexical tone with an emphasis on the strategies used to distinguish lexical tones. The dissertation evaluates the currently available hypotheses on the lateralization of lexical tone (Van Lancker, 1980; Van Lancker & Sidtis, 1992) to account for the patterns seen in Shona brain damaged...

En l'absence d'organe dedie a la perception du temps, comment parvient-on a extraire cette information du milieu? Les durees les plus communement traitees sont les durees dites courtes (inferieures a l'heure) et il en existe 2 modes de traitement: la perception et l'estimation de la duree. La perception de la duree concerne les durees inferieures a la seconde et consiste a extraire une representation mentale de cette duree. Les donnees de la litterature convergent en faveur d'un mecanisme central de traitement possedant a sa source une base de temps et ont permis de determiner les...

Why dolphins cooperate?
ISBN: 9783838302133 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why cooperate? The common approach emphasizes material gain, expressed in evolutionary biology as fitness. In psychology, it is expressed as maximization of the expected utility. This approach is usually demonstrated in experiments by using isolated anonymous individuals. But when social dimensions are restored, a bias-to- cooperate occurs: subjects cooperate more than expected from immediate material gains. This book offers an explanation to the bias based on two hypotheses: one, that there are two types of immediate reinforcements: emotional states linked to the social dimensions...

A Model Experimental System for Studying Acute Prenatal Experience
ISBN: 9783838321943 / Angielski / Miękka / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A framework is presented to characterize acute fetal and maternal responses to maternal psychological challenges to discover under what conditions these experiences might be advantageous, disadvantageous, or even have no effect on later developmental outcomes. Objectifying stress phenomena may be possible by characterizing the number of different biological, psychological, and behavioral response dimensions recruited by an organism to respond to environmental events. Acute maternal and fetal reactions were measured in a pregnant pigtailed macaque (Macaca nemestrina) instrumented with chronic...

Gendered Memory: Innate or Learned?
ISBN: 9783838348988 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Evolutionary theory posits that contemporary gender differences originated in the successful adaptation to the different demands faced by men and women over time. The sexual division of labor in hunter-gather societies may have led to the evolution of sex differences in spatial and memory abilities, with males developing an affinity for tracking moving targets and females developing superior skills for remembering static objects. On the other hand, gender schema theory argues that because males and females are exposed to different socialization processes, they develop schemata...

Stereotype threat is no match for a regulatory fit
ISBN: 9783838348193 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over a decade ago, academic psychologists demonstrated that low academic performance by students could be explained by negative stereotypes ascribed to their racial, gender, or cultural groups. For example, researchers have argued that the stereotype that women are bad at math leads women to underperform on math tests relative to men. This monograph describes research studies that were inspired by regulatory fit theory and reviews the literatures on stereotype threat and regulatory fit. The regulatory fit approach is used to explore the benefits of placing individuals in appropriate task...

Selective Attention Affects Visual Adaptation
ISBN: 9783838395210 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The visual system is endowed with two basic mechanisms. Adaptation allows us to adjust our sensitivity to match the prevailing level of stimuli, and selective attention enables us to focus our processing in order to discriminate and respond accurately in the cluttered visual environment. This work studied the influence of spatial-selective and feature-selective attention on two adaptational aftereffects following prolonged inspection of high contrast grating; the contrast threshold elevation aftereffect (CTE) and the tilt aftereffect (TAE).

Strategy Development in Dynamic Environments
ISBN: 9783843378413 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The use of strategies in everyday dynamic tasks and situations is a common occurrence and is vital to successfully accomplishing many tasks. Researchers have long been interested in how people use and develop strategies. However, as many researchers have pointed out, the majority of the research addressing this issue has focused on the outcomes rather than the potentially more informative aspects of strategy development and the process and mechanisms of change and adaptation. This book examines the mechanisms of strategy variability and selection utilizing a longitudinal method that focuses...

Emotion and Social Cognition in Schizophrenia
ISBN: 9783838307077 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although impairments in social functioning are one of the prominent symptoms of schizophrenia, there is little agreement regarding the causes and components of these deficits. This book examines this issue from a social-cognitive approach, suggesting empathy and its related abilities, such as Theory of Mind and cognitive flexability, as core factors affecting the patients' social competence. These factors are further discussed in relation to their link to prefrontal brain areas and their role in Schizophrenia. The data showed here suggests that an account of the behavioral impairment...

Manipulating Attention, Testing Memory
ISBN: 9783843390477 / Angielski / Miękka / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The relationship between memory and attention is a very complex one and many variables seem to affect this relationship, since attention to the stimuli being encoded will affect posterior recollection. It was hypothesized that auditory attentional manipulations at encoding, using endogenous and exogenous cueing, would have a similar effect to findings in the visual memory system-attentional manipulations have a significant effect on direct but not on indirect tests of memory. Four experiments were conducted using an attentional cueing manipulation technique, where memory was tested...
