How To Do Things With Logic Workbook Workbook withExercises

How To Do Things With Logic Workbook Workbook withExercises

In the past 15 years a host of critical thinking books have appeared that teach students to find flaws in the arguments of others by learning to detect a number of informal fallacies. This book is not in that tradition. The authors of this book believe that while students learn to become vicious critics they still continue to make the very mistakes they criticize in others. Thus this book has adopted the approach of teaching the construction of good arguments first and then introducing criticism as a secondary skill. Moreover the emphasis of the book is not on learning to name fallacies but on being able to identify weaknesses in an argument so as to be able to construct an effective critique of that argument. The book is accompanied by a workbook featuring a wealth of examples to help students acquire the material. | How To Do Things With Logic Workbook Workbook withExercises

Nonverbal Behavior and Communication

Nonverbal Behavior and Communication

First published in 1987. An attractive feature of nonverbal communication as a research area is that it has captured the interest of scholars of different disciplinary backgrounds psychologists linguists anthropologists psychiatrists and sociologists with each discipline bringing to the area its peculiar theoretical and methodological perspectives and biases. Each of these disciplines also tend to have a favorite topic or problem area within the general domain of nonverbal communication. Along with the varying yet overlapping topical concerns that the different disciplines bring to the area of nonverbal communication are major differences in methodology. The sections into which the book is divided roughly organize the chapters in terms of their concerns with the bodily structures and zones that are involved in nonverbal behavior. | Nonverbal Behavior and Communication

The Science of Philosophy

The Science of Philosophy

Originally published in 1981 this book was an attempt to bridge the gap between scientists and philosophers by viewing philosophy at least in part through scientific eyes. Professor George is not here concerned with the philosophy of science. Rather he is looking at classical philosophical issues from the behavioural or scientific viewpoint. Thus from the perspective of science he attempts to establish an understanding of philosophy. The author intended it primarily for behavioural scientists systems theorists and cyberneticians of the time who should have been closely bound up with the philosophical-scientific relationship. | The Science of Philosophy

Behavioral Primatology Advances in Research and Theory Volume 1

Behavioral Primatology Advances in Research and Theory Volume 1

First published in 1977. The volume of research on nonhuman primates has expanded tremendously during the past 20 years and researchers' familiarity with them has increased correspondingly. This series of volumes deals with scientific studies of the behavior of nonhuman primates-apes monkeys and prosimians. The behavior of these animals is of course of interest in its own right. But then so is that of the many other orders of animals. Behavior of nonhuman primates is of special interest because these animals are more closely related to human beings structurally physiologically and beyond doubt behaviorally than are any other living animals. | Behavioral Primatology Advances in Research and Theory Volume 1

Social Cognition How Individuals Construct Social Reality

Social Cognition How Individuals Construct Social Reality

Social cognition is a key area of social psychology which focuses on cognitive processes that are involved when individuals make sense of and navigate in their social world. For instance individuals need to understand what they perceive they learn and recall information from memory they form judgments and decisions they communicate with others and they regulate their behavior. While all of these topics are also key to other fields of psychological research it’s the social world—which is dynamic complex and often ambiguous—that creates particular demands. This accessible book introduces the basic themes within social cognition and asks questions such as: How do individuals think and feel about themselves and others? How do they make sense of their social environment? How do they interact with others in their social world? The book is organized along an idealized sequence of social information processing that starts at perceiving and encoding and moves on to learning judging and communicating. It covers not only processes internal to the individual but also facets of the environment that constrain cognitive processing. Throughout the book student learning is fostered with examples additional materials and discussion questions. With its subdivision in ten chapters the book is suitable both for self-study and as companion material for those teaching a semester-long course. This is the ideal comprehensive introduction to this thriving and captivating field of research for students of psychology. | Social Cognition How Individuals Construct Social Reality

Treatment as a tool for investigating cognition

Treatment as a tool for investigating cognition

Cognitive neuropsychological research studies of people with cognitive deficits have typically been directed either at investigating methods of intervention or at furthering our understanding of normal and impaired cognition. This book reports on research that combines these goals using studies that use intervention as a ‘tool’ for investigating hypotheses about the functioning of the human cognitive system. The introductory chapter discusses some of the unique and more general difficulties that this approach faces while the five reports describe intervention studies with children and adults with cognitive impairments – studies which investigate current theories of cognition. The studies demonstrate that the use of intervention to study cognition is a promising and valuable methodology. Aiming to promote wider use of these combined methods this book makes it clear that while the approach faces various methodological and interpretative challenges it has the advantage of providing advances on issues of theory while at the same time providing treatment to participants and bringing together what have been largely separate research traditions. This book was originally published as a special issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology. | Treatment as a tool for investigating cognition

The Science of the Couple The Ontario Symposium Volume 12

The Science of the Couple The Ontario Symposium Volume 12

Although love and relationships have been focal points for poets and philosophers for thousands of years these topics had not traditionally been the focus of empirical research. As a result very little was known about how couples maintained happiness and satisfaction in their relationships or how relationships deteriorated ultimately ending in separation or divorce. However since the early 1980s relationships research has blossomed as a field – and is now one of the most vibrant topics in social psychology and beyond. This volume brings together the latest research on couple functioning from the perspectives of social and personality psychology neurobiology health and clinical psychology. Additionally the research presented highlights the use of survey experimental implicit and longitudinal methods as well as specialized techniques employed in neuroscience psychophysiology and psychoneuroimmunology in the study of couple level processes. The underlying aim of this volume is to examine how these theories and methods converge to provide a deeper holistic model of couples’ processes and functioning. With its state-of-the-art integrative overview of this exciting discipline The Science of the Couple is essential reading for social psychologists clinicians and anyone with an interest in the dynamics of interpersonal relationships. | The Science of the Couple The Ontario Symposium Volume 12

Straight Choices The Psychology of Decision Making

Straight Choices The Psychology of Decision Making

Straight Choices provides a fascinating introduction to the psychology of decision making enhanced by discussion of relevant examples of decision problems faced in everyday life. Thoroughly revised and updated throughout this edition provides an integrative account of the psychology of decision-making and shows how psychological research can help us understand our uncertain world. The book emphasizes the relationship between learning and decision-making arguing that the best way to understand how and why decisions are made is in the context of the learning and knowledge acquisition which precedes them and the feedback which follows. The mechanisms of learning and the structure of environments in which decisions are made are carefully examined to explore their impact on our choices. The authors then consider whether we are all constrained to fall prey to cognitive biases or whether with sufficient exposure we can find optimal decision strategies and improve our decision making. This edition highlights advances made in judgment and decision making research with additional coverage of behavioral insights nudging artificial intelligence and explanation-based decision making. Written in a non-technical manner this book is an essential read for all students and researchers in cognitive psychology behavioral economics and the decision sciences as well as anyone interested in the nature of decision making. | Straight Choices The Psychology of Decision Making
