Chaos theory in Psychology and the Life Sciences
ISBN: 9780805817379 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book represents the best of the first three years of the Society for Chaos Theory in Psychology conferences. While chaos theory has been a topic of considerable interest in the physical and biological sciences, its applications in psychology and related fields have been obscured until recently by its complexity. Nevertheless, a small but rapidly growing community of psychologists, neurobiologists, sociologists, mathematicians, and philosophers have been coming together to discuss its implications and explore its research possibilities. Chaos theory has been termed the first...

ISBN: 9780805818307 / Angielski / Twarda / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work admits the validity of the two forms of psychophysical theory by arguing that the same empirical phenomena should be conceptualized in two alternative, apparently contradictory, ways. The complementarity theory stresses the mutually completing nature of two distinct models.

ISBN: 9780805828726 / Angielski / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As busy as teachers and scholars are, rarely do they find the time to sample widely from the table of scientific inquiry. This book offers the opportunity to do just that. The fourth volume in the "Studies in Perception and Action" series, it contains a collection of posters presented at the Ninth International Conference on Perception and Action, sponsored by the International Society for Ecological Psychology.

Inter-sentential Influences on Predicted Verb Subcategorization
ISBN: 9783639129090 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study investigated the influences of prior discourse context and cumulative syntactic priming on readers' predictions for verb subcategorizations. An additional aim was to determine whether cumulative syntactic priming has the same degree of influence following coherent discourse contexts as when following series of unrelated sentences. Participants read temporarily ambiguous sentences that resolved to sentential complement. The sentences either followed a discourse context or a series of scrambled sentences. In addition, the number of sentences that resolved to a sentential complement...

Sex, Hormones and Neurons
ISBN: 9783639133097 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Hormones such as testosterone and estrogen help sculpt the nervous system throughout life, from early development through old age. Around the time of birth, these hormones can decide which neurons die off (or live) preferentially in males and which die off (or live) more in females. Later, in adulthood, testosterone no longer determines neuronal survival, but does regulate aspects of neuronal morphology, including cell size. Work outlined in this book explores the role of testosterone and the Bcl-2 family of proteins in regulating both neuronal death during development and neuronal morphology...

Blindsight: A Case Study Spanning 35 Years and New Developments
ISBN: 9780199567218 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Blindsight is an unusual condition where the sufferer can respond to visual stimuli, while lacking any conscious feeling of having seen the stimuli. It occurs after a particular form of brain injury. The first edition of Blindsight, by one of the pioneers in the field - Lawrence Weiskrantz, reported studies of a patient with this condition. It was an important, much cited publication. In the past twenty years, further work has been done in this area, and this new edition brings the book up to date. Retaining the original text, but adding a substantial new chapter and colour illustrations, the...

Human Insight Problem Solving
ISBN: 9783639144932 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Eight experiments were conducted using a suite of
insight problems including the cheap necklace problem (CNP), 8-ball, and 9-dot. A set of experiments investigated the effects of two hints derived from two contemporary theoretical accounts of insight-Criterion for Satisfactory Progress theory (CSP) and Representational Change Theory (RCT). Fewer participants in the CSP condition used maximizing moves. They required fewer trials to reach solution in the CSP. The second set of experiments investigated metacognition in the form of feelings-of-warmth (FOW) ratings for each move in... Eight experiments were conducted using a suite of

Binocular Rivalry, Perceptual Filling-In and Their Interactions
ISBN: 9783639146479 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Visual perception relies on both selective and
constructive perceptual processes. For example, binocular rivalry leads to the selective perception of one of two competing monocular stimuli, whereas visual phantom formation leads to perceptual filling-in of a large gap between two collinearly aligned gratings. This book explores the role of perceptual and attentional mechanisms in binocular rivalry and perceptual filling-in, and investigates the neural interactions between rivalry and filling-in to gain new insights into the nature of these perceptual phenomena. These studies... Visual perception relies on both selective and

Raging Minds

children differ from their non-aggressive peers in the way they process social information in conflict situations. Using Crick & Dodges (1994) Social Information Processing following Provocation Model as a theoretical framework, this investigation was undertaken to explore adults social information processing under the influence of verbal and physical provocation (e.g. taunting, being hit with a stick) as well as assessing how specific subcategories of aggressive behaviour (hostile and instrumental aggression) relate to different...

Investigating the Neural Substrates of Relapse Behavior
ISBN: 9783639168679 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Reinstatement occurs when exposure to the unconditioned stimulus alone (i.e., context conditioning), after extinction, causes a recovery of responding to the conditioned stimulus. This model is frequently used as a research model of relapse for the treatment of drug abuse and anxiety disorders. Reinstatement of conditioned fear has been shown to depend on the hippocampal formation. The hippocampal formation has also been implicated in the acquisition and expression of contextual freezing. Two experiments examined the role of the hippocampus and two of its efferent targets, the bed nucleus of...

Wait! I wasn't finished . . .
ISBN: 9783639174076 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores how interrupters and their targets are perceived in terms of status and likability. In Experiment One, participants listened to a brief audiotaped conversation in which one person interrupted the other five times. Results indicated that interrupters were perceived as more dominant and more influential than non-interrupters, and that targets of interruption were viewed as less dominant, influential, and competent than non- targets. Furthermore, interrupters were liked less than non-interrupters. In Experiment Two, four confederates (two men and two women) systematically...

To the contrary, conflicts- especially those that are enduring and seemingly intractable- are embedded in an information-rich context, often with a long and complicated history characterized by multiple forces operating at different levels of analysis (economic, political, religious, interpersonal). Yet participants and outside observers are rarely overwhelmed by such complexity and ambiguity, adopting instead a coherent depiction of the conflict, often with an unequivocal allocation of blame to one side or the other. While we may know... Conflict between groups does not arise in a vacuum.

information in our working memory, though some individuals have a greater working memory capacity than others. Everyday tasks are well within the normal persons working memory capacity, but at times, a great demand on mental resources will cause performance to be compromised. These studies examine how motor performance, such as hand movements, can be impaired by performing mental tasks. Also, different types of mental tasks are related to different degrees of compromised motor performance. Individuals may show differences in their... We all have the ability to maintain and process
