Proceedings of the First International Conference on Genetic Algorithms and their Applications

Proceedings of the First International Conference on Genetic Algorithms and their Applications

Computer solutions to many difficult problems in science and engineering require the use of automatic search methods that consider a large number of possible solutions to the given problems. This book describes recent advances in the theory and practice of one such search method called Genetic Algorithms. Genetic algorithms are evolutionary search techniques based on principles derived from natural population genetics and are currently being applied to a variety of difficult problems in science engineering and artificial intelligence. | Proceedings of the First International Conference on Genetic Algorithms and their Applications

Hypothetical Thinking Dual Processes in Reasoning and Judgement

Hypothetical Thinking Dual Processes in Reasoning and Judgement

Hypothetical thought involves the imagination of possibilities and the exploration of their consequences by a process of mental simulation. In this Classic Edition Jonathan St B. T. Evans presents his pioneering hypothetical thinking theory; an integrated theoretical account of a wide range of psychological studies on hypothesis testing reasoning judgement and decision making. Hypothetical thinking theory is built on three key principles and implemented in a version of Evans' well-known heuristic–analytic theory of reasoning. The central claim of this book is that this theory can provide an integrated account of apparently diverse phenomena including confirmation bias in hypothesis testing acceptance of fallacies in deductive reasoning belief biases in reasoning and judgement biases of statistical judgement and numerous characteristic findings in the study of decision making. Featuring a reflective and insightful new introduction to the book this Classic Edition discusses contemporary theory on cognitive biases human rationality and dual-process theories of higher cognition. It will be of great interest to researchers post graduates as well as advanced undergraduate students. | Hypothetical Thinking Dual Processes in Reasoning and Judgement

Handbook of Child Language Disorders 2nd Edition

Handbook of Child Language Disorders 2nd Edition

The acquisition of language is one of the most remarkable human achievements. When language acquisition fails to occur as expected the impact can be far-reaching affecting all aspects of the child’s life and the child’s family. Thus research into the nature causes and remediation of children’s language disorders provides important insights into the nature of language acquisition and its underlying bases and leads to innovative clinical approaches to these disorders. This second edition of the Handbook of Child Language Disorders brings together a distinguished group of clinical and academic researchers who present novel perspectives on researching the nature of language disorders in children. The handbook is divided into five sections: Typology; Bases; Language Contexts; Deficits Assessment and Intervention; and Research Methods. Topics addressed include autism specific language impairment dyslexia hearing impairment and genetic syndromes and their deficits along with introductions to genetics speech production and perception neurobiology linguistics cognitive science and research methods. With its global context this handbook also includes studies concerning children acquiring more than one language and variations within and across languages. Thoroughly revised this edition offers state-of-the-art information in child language disorders together in a single volume for advanced undergraduate students and graduate students. It will also serve as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in speech-language pathology audiology special education and neuropsychology as well as for individuals interested in any aspect of language acquisition and its disorders. | Handbook of Child Language Disorders 2nd Edition

The Student's Guide to Social Neuroscience

The Student's Guide to Social Neuroscience

This engaging and cutting-edge text provides an accessible introduction to the complex methods and concepts of social neuroscience with examples from contemporary research and a blend of different pedagogical features helping students to engage with the material including essay questions summary and key points further reading suggestions and links to online resources. Social neuroscience is a rapidly growing field which explains using neural mechanisms our ability to recognize understand and interact with others. Concepts such as trust revenge empathy prejudice and identity are now being explored and unraveled by neuroscientists. The third edition of this ground-breaking text has been thoroughly revised and expanded to reflect the growing volume of evidence and theories in the field. Notable additions include a greater emphasis on genetic influences hormonal influences and more detail on methods such as fNIRS multivariate pattern analysis and heart-based psychophysiological measures. This edition also provides new material on gender identity and sexuality constructivist theories of emotion compassion versus empathy the dark triad and altruistic punishment. The book is supported by a fully updated companion website featuring student resources including lecture recordings multiple choice questions and useful web links as well as PowerPoint slides for lecturers. Richly illustrated in attractive full-color with figures boxes and ‘real-world’ implications of research this text is the ideal introduction to the field for both undergraduate and postgraduate students in fields such as psychology and neuroscience. | The Student's Guide to Social Neuroscience
