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
ISBN: 9783639145694 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A large amount of research suggests that aggressive
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...

The Vilification of Arabs and Muslims
ISBN: 9783639175653 / Angielski / Miękka / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conflict between groups does not arise in a vacuum.
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.

I'm Thinking So Hard My Hands Don't Work
ISBN: 9783639173987 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We all have the ability to maintain and process
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

A friend complicates matters
ISBN: 9783639177701 / Angielski / Miękka / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To explain decision behavior by reducing it to utility maximization, as Kahneman and Tversky (2000) do, or to intuitive behavior, as Gigerenzer (1996) does, is to risk oversimplification. There is no single definition of rational decision behavior. The context defines what decision behavior can be evaluated as rational. In the context of morality, subjects base their decision behavior on four different ethical positions: deontology, hedonism, intuitionism and utilitarianism. In this article the classical Asian disease problem (ADP), used by Kahneman and Tversky (1981) to show the framing...

Individual Differences in Peer Relationships
ISBN: 9783639171075 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book summarizes a series of research projects
investigating the effects of self-handicapping on an individuals daily life by looking at participants peer relationship and social interactions, reactions of peers to self-handicapping behaviors, and self-presentation strategies. Self-handicapping, when disclosed to peers, was predicted by previous research to negatively affect social networks. The series of studies presented in this book illustrates that the effect of self-handicapping on peer relationships is not nearly as straightforward as previous research might suggest and not...

The role of perceptual learning in recognition memory for faces
ISBN: 9783639164527 / Angielski / Miękka / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The rated distinctiveness of a face, the orientation in which a face is seen and the race of the face, are all factors that are known to affect subsequent recognition of faces. These three factors are known as the distinctiveness effect, the orientation effect and the own-race bias. The main objective of this study was to track the extent to which these three effects develop across the lifespan. The study consisted of three experiments. Overall, the distinctiveness effect, inversion effect and own- race bias was evident among participants who were older than 8 years. Six-year-olds did not...

Cognitive Science of Primed Decision Making
ISBN: 9783639197419 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The difference between conscious and unconscious processes is a hard issue. Usually in the literature it is argued that without a mask, participants are conscious of the stimulus, but with a mask they are not. However, how we know that participants are not still conscious of the stimulus after it is masked? In fact, all we know with real reliability is that they can no longer report on what the stimulus was. Here we argue that without a mask, subjects can report what the stimulus was. With a mask, they cannot. This captures the crucial difference and it does so in a way that is unproblematic...

The Effect of Family Size and Birth Order on an Individual's g Level
ISBN: 9783639229714 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study investigated whether the environment created by being born in a specific birth order and/or family size affects individuals genetic intelligence, or g. Based on the phenomenon of rising IQ scores between generations, the fact that IQ and g are correlated and that nearly all between-family variables have been shown not to produce the rising effect, it was hypothesized that there could be a significant difference in g scores of siblings of the same family and those of different sized families born in the same position. Birth order and family size could be argued to encompass most...
