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

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

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

Information Processing in Animals Memory Mechanisms

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

Cognitive Processes in Stereotyping and Intergroup Behavior

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

Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies

Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies

Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies is the first text to introduce human development and family studies (HDFS) as inextricably linked areas of study giving students a complex yet realistic view of individuals and families. Pioneers of research paradigms have acknowledged that the family is one setting in which human development occurs. Moreover in many academic programs the lines of these two disciplines blur and much work is inherently multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. This book helps to fortify an understanding of HDFS and subareas within it. Vignettes from current HDFS students as well as new professionals an overview of the lifespan stage(s) within the family context a wide description of research methods and applications current policy issues relevant to the area and discussions of practice/careers coupled with strategies for pursuing specializations or careers in the area are hallmarks of this textbook. Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies is essential reading for students new to the major and minor wanting to know: What is HDFS? Who are the people involved in HDFS? Why is HDFS important? How does theory and research inform work in HDFS? What does the pursuit of being an ethical professional require? What are the key areas in HDFS? Incredibly user-friendly both on the page and online the text also features the following resources: Chapter Summaries where the main points of each chapter are pinpointed at the end of every chapter for review and study. Key Terms listed and defined within the margins of every chapter a complete Glossary at the end of the text and Flashcards online for additional review and study. Challenge: Integration section at the end of each chapter that underscores concepts from the chapter and draws connections between content presented in other chapters. Journal Questions to encourage reflection about the content and encourage thinking about some of the content coupled with students’ own experiences. Suggested Resources that lists relevant websites books articles and video links for further study. A Closer Look at Applied Experiences Appendix outlines the internship process and shows how the internship experience can be meaningful and useful and a Consuming Research Appendix that focuses on what it means to be a consumer of research the knowledge and skills consumers need and considerations for transitioning from a consumer of research to a producer of research.

Property A Study in Social Psychology

Property A Study in Social Psychology

First published in 1931 this book represents an attempt to study the psychological basis of the institution of property. There had been many psychological and social studies of marriage and religion prior to publication of this title but none which considered the problems which arise when the institution of property is viewed from the angle of social psychology. Some of these problems are set out in the first chapter. In the remaining chapters the author discusses the problems in the light of evidence drawn from the various branches of psychology and sociology of the day. The final chapter indicates the importance of the author’s conclusions for political and social theory at the time. | Property A Study in Social Psychology

Memory and Miscarriages of Justice

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.

Principles of Social Psychology Third Edition

Principles of Social Psychology Third Edition

Originally published in 1987 this third edition won praise from students and instructors alike for its challenging no nonsense approach to the field. Thoroughly updated to reflect current research of the time the text retains the qualities that had become its hallmarks: a cognitive approach to the process of socialization and an emphasis on the ideas that give the discipline continuity. It offers clear conceptually integrated discussions of all of the major topics in social psychology from the time. Shaver's focus on the concepts of social psychology provides a framework for students to develop their own applications. The principles of social behavior are presented in the text in the same way they develop in the individual moving from internal processes (social perception self-recognition) to external issues (the environment the law) that influence behavior. Shaver weaves contemporary issues into his treatment of basic theories using examples from everyday situations. His supple writing engages students in the complexity of social behavior and is one reason this title remained one of the most highly regarded texts in the field at the time. | Principles of Social Psychology Third Edition

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
