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

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

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.

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.

Modelling Word Recognition and Reading Aloud A Special Issue of the European Journal of Cognitive Psychology

Modelling Word Recognition and Reading Aloud A Special Issue of the European Journal of Cognitive Psychology

Computational modeling has tremendously advanced our understanding of the processes involved in normal and impaired reading. While previous research has mainly focused on simulating reading aloud of monosyllabic words in English the present special issue highlights some new directions in the field of word recognition and reading aloud. These new lines of research include the learning orthographic and phonological representations in both supervised and unsupervised networks and the extension of existing models to multi-syllabic word processing both in English and in other languages such as Italian French and German. The special issue also covers hotly debated issues concerning the front-end of the reading process the neural plausibility of current models of word recognition and naming the viability of Bayesian approaches to understanding reading as well as the long-standing opposition between rule-based and statistical learning. Finally this special issue includes simulation work on novel benchmark phenomena such as the effects of fast phonology masked onset priming and syllabic neighbourhood. Altogether the present special issue provides a critical analysis and synthesis of current computational models of reading and cutting edge research concerning the next generation of computational models of word recognition and reading aloud. | Modelling Word Recognition and Reading Aloud A Special Issue of the European Journal of Cognitive Psychology

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

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

Politics of Social Psychology

Politics of Social Psychology

Social scientists have long known that political beliefs bias the way they think about understand and interpret the world around them. In this volume scholars from social psychology and related fields explore the ways in which social scientists themselves have allowed their own political biases to influence their research. These biases may influence the development of research hypotheses the design of studies and methods and materials chosen to test hypotheses decisions to publish or not publish results based on their consistency with one’s prior political beliefs and how results are described and dissemination to the popular press. The fact that these processes occur within academic disciplines such as social psychology that strongly skew to the political left compounds the problem. Contributors to this volume not only identify and document the ways that social psychologists’ political beliefs can and have influenced research but also offer solutions towards a more depoliticized social psychology that can become a model for discourse across the social sciences. | Politics of Social Psychology

Short-term and Working Memory Impairments in Aphasia Data Models and their Application to Rehabilitation

Short-term and Working Memory Impairments in Aphasia Data Models and their Application to Rehabilitation

Research in language processing and language impairment has focused extensively on elements of linguistic representation that are accessed and retrieved in comprehension repetition and production of words and sentences. These studies have provided important information about the effects of characteristics of words (e. g. frequency imageability) and sentences (e. g. syntactic and semantic argument structure) on language processing. A smaller but nonetheless rapidly growing body of research has been directed to understanding those cognitive processes that mediate access maintenance and retrieval of those representations. The papers in this book focus on theoretical accounts of the role of short-term memory and working memory in language processing as well as clinical applications that reflect a focus on these mechanisms of cognitive support to language processing. Each paper provides a theoretical perspective on or clinical application of the most current empirical evidence regarding the role of cognitive processes in relation to language processing. Also common to each paper is an acknowledgement of the need for additional theoretical and clinical research in this area. Although in its relative infancy research addressing relations between language and other cognitive processes is integral for advancing our understanding of the dynamic nature of language impairment in aphasia and also for directly informing its treatment. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Aphasiology. | Short-term and Working Memory Impairments in Aphasia Data Models and their Application to Rehabilitation

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
