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

Imagery and Verbal Processes

Imagery and Verbal Processes

First published in 1978. In this book the author has attempted to present a systematic theoretical and factual account of the role of higher mental processes in human learning and memory and certain aspects of the psychology of perception and language. The major orienting theme of the book is its dual emphasis on nonverbal imagery and verbal processes (inner speech) as memory codes and mediators of behavior. Based on recent experimental evidence the conceptual approach in a sense represents an integration of pre-behavioristic and behavioristic views concerning the nature of thought. The book is intended both as a textbook and as a theoretical monograph.

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

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

Detection and Prevention of Identity-Based Bullying Social Justice Perspectives

Detection and Prevention of Identity-Based Bullying Social Justice Perspectives

Bullying in schools has become the focus of a growing body of literature; however much of that work diminishes the role of social context social identities and prejudices despite extensive research evidence suggesting that many victims of bullying are targeted because of an aspect of their social identity. This book demonstrates how the prevention and intervention of this phenomenon termed identity-based bullying is a social justice issue. Expanding beyond bullying prevention that focuses on individual perpetrators the book examines identity-based bullying in schools as a microcosm of larger systemic tensions and conflicts. The author utilizes a social constructivist perspective to understand the experiences of children as active agents in their own lives. She also provides an international framework to describe the impact of culture social structures and politics from the US and the UK. Challenges and barriers to addressing identity-based bullying are explored and recommendations are made for best practices for teachers administrators and mental health professionals to prevent and respond to identity-based bullying. | Detection and Prevention of Identity-Based Bullying Social Justice Perspectives

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.

Sound & Hearing A Conceptual Introduction

Sound & Hearing A Conceptual Introduction

The major aim of this book is to introduce the ways in which scientists approach and think about a phenomenon - hearing - that intersects three quite different disciplines: the physics of sound sources and the propagation of sound through air and other materials the anatomy and physiology of the transformation of the physical sound into neural activity in the brain and the psychology of the perception we call hearing. Physics biology and psychology each play a role in understanding how and what we hear. The text evolved over the past decade in an attempt to convey something about scientific thinking as evidenced in the domain of sounds and their perception to students whose primary focus is not science. It does so using a minimum of mathematics (high school functions such as linear logarithmic sine and power) without compromising scientific integrity. A significant enrichment is the availability of a compact disc (CD) containing over 20 examples of acoustic demonstrations referred to in the book. These demonstrations which range from echo effects and filtered noise to categorical speech perception and total more than 45 minutes are invaluable resources for making the text come alive. | Sound & Hearing A Conceptual Introduction

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
