Inner Light Visions in Vihangam Yoga-Can Science See What Eyes Can't?
ISBN: 9783838381763 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Meditation has emerged as a science in past couple of decades as evidenced by hundreds of articles published in recent years. This book takes this scientific exploration to the next level by targeting a specific state of a meditation-inner light perception(ILP). This book is about the studies conducted on the meditators of Vihangam Yoga in various countries.Our interest in this meditation began when we found that ILP of the meditators in this sect far out-numbered meditators of other techniques. Our first study, a qualitative study on this technique revealed several mystical experiences of...

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...

Sexual Attractiveness: Waist not, want not...
ISBN: 9783844301229 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Natural selection describes how characteristics of survival benefit are selected for & then successful genes are passed on to offspring. As the genetic quality of a potential mate cannot be observed directly, humans rely on physical attributes. The human body shape, specifically the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is an honest signal of a females health & fertility. Research has linked WHR to perceived attractiveness. However, previous studies are criticised for using 2D & unrealistic stimuli. This book explores the role of WHR using new 3D stimuli. Participants viewed a movie of 4...

Recognition memory and Event-Related Potentials
ISBN: 9783844328400 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dual-process models of recognition memory propose that recognition memory can be supported by either a general sense of familiarity or the recollection of the encoding context. One source of evidence supporting dual-process models comes from event- related potential (ERP) studies of recognition memory, which have identified distinct patterns of neural activity associated with familiarity and recollection (the mid frontal and left parietal old/new effects, respectively). In this thesis, dual- process accounts of recognition memory were investigated in a series of ERP studies using three...

Syntax and working memory in preschool children with autism
ISBN: 9783838313986 / Angielski / Miękka / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This research explores the influence of core neurocognitive processes on syntactic development in autism, a developmental disability characterized by language deficits. Syntactic development requires a child to match co-occurrences of words and morphemes and their meanings, a process that requires the integration of multiple, probabilistic cues from linguistic and social, and real- world contexts, and thus may depend on working memory. Paradoxically, the limited short-term verbal memory characteristic of typically developing children may improve their ability to perform this mapping...

Communication in Autism Spectrum Disorders
ISBN: 9783838362540 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Efficient communication requires a great deal of pragmatic inferencing. This is rooted in the ability to take into account a variety of cues, such as the context and the speakers mental or emotional states. Crucially, in spoken language, hearers can also rely on prosodic cues. These situations are especially challenging for people with autism, who have well-known difficulties in recognising and interpreting others mental states. In this book, I explore the various components of prosody and assess whether people with an ASD are specifically impaired in interpreting prosodic cues that rely on...

The effects of sleep deprivation on driving-related performance
ISBN: 9783838334172 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sleepiness contributes up to 30% of all heavy vehicle accidents throughout the world each year. Professional drivers are particularly susceptible to the effects of sleepiness, due to chronic or acute sleep deprivation, time-on-task effects, driving at circadian low points, and increased daytime sleepiness resulting from sleep disorders. Population surveys of heavy vehicle drivers indicates that a small proportion of drivers use pharmaceutical means in order to help maintain alertness during long-haul trips. Despite the known benefits of amphetamine-type stimulants on reducing ...

Functional Connectivity of Eeg in the Default Network of the Brain
ISBN: 9783838358512 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work was undertaken with enthusiastic curiosity. In the course of reading thousands of neuroscience articles I have been hard pressed to understand what the EEG in the default network would look like when processing the self. In considering this ill-defined and often argued concept, the self must first be defined in its neurological components. Since the dawn of human language or even before there have been questions relating to existence and the meaning of life; however, in seeking these answers, the essence and meaning of the self has been neglected. Thus, we set out with very broad...

The Effects of Camp Interventions on Adolescent Self-Esteem
ISBN: 9783838376813 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Research suggests that the active protection and promotion of self-esteem is critical to mental and social well being and plays an important role as a protective and non specific risk factor in physical and mental health. Youth problems such as poor academic achievement, risky sexual behavior, insolence, drug and alcohol abuse, psychological distress and delinquency have been associated with low self-esteem. Many programs have been designed to increase self esteem in children and adolescents, however, few have so far been assessed for their effectiveness. Thus, a study consisting of 98...

Strategy-Based Peer Tutoring
ISBN: 9783838301020 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Traditionally, teachers have used textbooks and lectures in the classroom as a cost-effective and time efficient medium for instruction. Students with learning disabilities, however, typically require instruction that is more explicit and supportive than what is provided in the regular classroom. Difficulties in providing students with learning disabilities such intensive support become amplified at the secondary school level. With this in mind, there have been changes in instructional approaches for teaching adolescents with learning disabilities that can compensate for the lack of...

Sleep Effects on Declarative Memory: An Experimental Analysis
ISBN: 9783838349558 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Human long term memory can be categorized as Procedural and Declarative. Memory for faces is declarative and plays an essential role in social interactions. Face perception guides our behavior towards others in society. In order to understand the memory for faces its two components - face identity and face expression needs to be addressed. Recent research in Neuroscience suggests sleep modulates memory consolidation. However, researches targeting the effects of sleep on declarative memory has been largely inconclusive. The present work makes an attempt to investigate the role of sleep on...

Posterior Parietal Cortex and non-spatial attention control
ISBN: 9783838336473 / Angielski / Miękka / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Goals dominate primate behavior. Almost all intended behaviors depend on the acquisition of "cognitive sets" endowing us with expectations about classes of stimuli and responses (S-R sets) appropriate to achieve a particular goal in a given context. Selective attention allows to switch between competing cognitive sets by focusing onto the currently relevant S-R sets while disengaging from other interfering S-R sets. The question whether non- human primates provide an appropriate model for human task-switching has not been completely answered. Posterior Parietal Cortex (PPC) has long been...

Working Memory Capacity and Foreign Language Speech Production
ISBN: 9783838356068 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book reports on a study which investigated (i) whether bilingual lexical access (BLA) is predicted by working memory capacity (WMC) and proficiency level in L2; (ii) whether WMC and L2 proficiency interact in predicting BLA, and (iii) the extent to which within-language competition affects BLA. 100 learners of English as a foreign language (L2) performed three WMC tests, two proficiency tests and one BLA test. Data analysis revealed that WMC and L2 proficiency both significantly predicted BLA. Higher spans retrieved lexical items faster than lower spans. Moreover, the facilitation...

Feature Specific Mechanisms in the human brain
ISBN: 9783838337258 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What are the current limits of our knowledge of brain activity underlying vision and how can it be furthered? In this book, I explore this basic question with hands-on experimental studies. I focus on those aspects of visual input that can be described as basic features of visual perception. However, understanding how humans visually perceive the external world is closely related with the study of attention. Attention, that is, the selection of some aspects of the environment over others, is one of the most intensively studied areas in experimental psychology, yet its neural...
