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

Personality in the Social Process

First published in 1985. This book presents a new way to ask an old question. Many fields have considered the nature of the influence that members of a group exert on the course of social events. Social science provides another way to examine this issue. Moreover social science has a particular strength: It helps us to phrase questions more precisely than before it encourages us to follow a line of reasoning systematically and it requires us to evaluate our ideas in light of a particular kind of evidence. The authors want to use these strengths to explore systematically the ways that factors in the person and in the environment together may shape the emergence of social behavior. | Personality in the Social Process

Cognitive Processes in Stereotyping and Intergroup Behavior

Originally published in 1981 this volume brings together contributions by several of the authors whose research had contributed significantly to the recent advances in our understanding of the role of cognitive processes in stereotyping and intergroup behaviour at the time. While each chapter reflects a cognitive approach to its subject matter a broad range of topics issues and contexts is addressed by this collection of authors. In the introductory chapter the authors present an historical overview of psychological research on stereotyping discussing historical trends in this literature and summarizing the conceptual orientations which had guided research in this area at the time. This chapter not only provides useful background information for the reader but also presents a broader context within which the current cognitively oriented research on which the remaining chapters focus can be viewed. Each of the next six chapters reports on integrative program of studies bearing on some aspect of the relationship of cognitive functioning to stereotyping and/or intergroup behaviour. | Cognitive Processes in Stereotyping and Intergroup Behavior

Mathematical Models of Perception and Cognition Volume I A Festschrift for James T. Townsend

In this two volume festschrift contributors explore the theoretical developments (Volume I) and applications (Volume II) in traditional cognitive psychology domains and model other areas of human performance that benefit from rigorous mathematical approaches. It brings together former classmates students and colleagues of Dr. James T. Townsend a pioneering researcher in the field since the early 1960s to provide a current overview of mathematical modeling in psychology. Townsend’s research critically emphasized a need for rigor in the practice of cognitive modeling and for providing mathematical definition and structure to ill-defined psychological topics. The research captured demonstrates how the interplay of theory and application bridged by rigorous mathematics can move cognitive modeling forward. | Mathematical Models of Perception and Cognition Volume I A Festschrift for James T.

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

Information Processing in Animals Memory Mechanisms

First published in 1982. During the past fifty years dramatic changes have occurred in the use of laboratory animals to study learning and memory. Yet the basic reasons for this research diverse as they are have not changed. At one extreme is the need for relatively direct application of findings with animal models to medical or educational problems of humans; at the other extreme the quest for understanding animal behavior for its own sake. It is probably fair to say that no chapters in this book represent either of these extremes although in each case the author’s purposes can be said to be like those of some scientists working in this area fifty years ago. In contrast to this continuity of purpose the approach that scientists now take in this area of study is really quite different from that of most or all scientists in the 1930s. | Information Processing in Animals Memory Mechanisms

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

Memory and Miscarriages of Justice

Memory is often the primary evidence in the courtroom yet unfortunately this evidence may not be fit for purpose. This is because memory is both fallible and malleable; it is possible to forget and also to falsely remember things which never happened. The legal system has been slow to adapt to scientific findings about memory even though such findings have implications for the use of memory as evidence not only in the case of eyewitness testimony but also for how jurors barristers and judges weigh evidence. Memory and Miscarriages of Justice provides an authoritative look at the role of memory in law and highlights the common misunderstandings surrounding it while bringing the modern scientific understanding of memory to the forefront. Drawing on the latest research this book examines cases where memory has played a role in miscarriages of justice and makes recommendations from the science of memory to support the future of memory evidence in the legal system. Appealing to undergraduate and postgraduate students of psychology and law memory experts and legal professionals this book provides an insightful and global view of the use of memory within the legal system.

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
