Studies in Perception and Action X Fifteenth International Conference on Perception and Action

Studies in Perception and Action X Fifteenth International Conference on Perception and Action

This volume is the 10th in the Studies in Perception and Action series and contains research presented at the 15th International Conference on Perception and Action (ICPA) meeting in the summer of 2009. ICPA provides a forum for presenting new data theory and methodological developments relevant to the ecological approach to perception and action. The forty papers presented in this volume are divided into five Parts and represent the latest developments in ecological psychology research from four continents. In many instances the contributions to Studies volumes reflect the first appearance of new ideas in a scientific venue. As a result this book contains the most recent and cutting-edge research in perception and action. This volume will appeal to individuals who follow the research literature in ecological psychology as well as those interested in perception perceptual development human movement dynamics and social processes. | Studies in Perception and Action X Fifteenth International Conference on Perception and Action

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 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

International Handbook of Thinking and Reasoning

International Handbook of Thinking and Reasoning

The Routledge International Handbook of Thinking and Reasoning is an authoritative reference work providing a balanced overview of current scholarship spanning the full breadth of the rapidly developing and expanding field of thinking and reasoning. It contains 35 chapters written by leading international researchers covering foundational issues as well as state-of-the-art developments in thinking and reasoning research. Topics covered range across all sub-areas of thinking and reasoning including deduction induction abduction judgment decision making argumentation problem solving expertise creativity and rationality. The contributors engage with cutting-edge debates such as the status of dual-process theories of thinking the role of unconscious intuitive emotional and metacognitive processes in thinking and the importance of probabilistic conceptualisations of thinking and reasoning. Authors also examine the importance of neuroscientific findings in informing theoretical developments and explore the situated nature of thinking and reasoning across a range of real-world contexts such as mathematics medicine and science. The Handbook provides a clear sense of the way in which contemporary ideas are challenging traditional viewpoints as new paradigm of the psychology of reasoning emerges. This paradigm-shifting research is paving the way toward a richer and more inclusive understanding of thinking and reasoning where important new questions drive a forward-looking research agenda. It is essential reading for both established researchers in the field of thinking and reasoning as well as advanced students wishing to learn more about both the historical foundations and latest developments in this rapidly growing field.
