Описание: John R. Anderson has been long been at the forefront of the study of cognition, with accomplishments that have informed the way cognitive psychology is investigated, applied, and taught. With this new edition of his classic textbook, Anderson again takes students to the forefront of the field, incorporating the latest theoretical breakthroughs, research findings, and technological advances, as well as marking the increasing role of neuroscience in the study of cognitive functions. As always, Anderson makes his discussions of higher mental processes concrete and accessible with fascinating examples and clear explanations of the underlying research.IntroducingLaunchPad Solo for Cognitive PsychologyAvailable to accompany the new edition of Cognitive Psychology and Its Implications, this powerful web-based tool gives students a way to experience classic and modern experiments that are foundational in the cognitive psychology course.   New Coverage of Modern Technology, including:- Watson's performance on Jeopardy, Apple's Siri, and Ray Kurzwell's prophesy of the impending Singularity (Ch. 1, The Science of Cognition)- New technological developments in character and face recognition (Ch. 2, Perception)- 'Mind-reading' research that uses fMRI to reconstruct the thoughts and images of people (Ch. 4, Mental Imagery)The Latest Research on the Bounds of Human Capacity, includingRecent Advances in Neuroscience, including:- Research relating visual neglect to deficits in conceptual judgments about number order and alphabetical order (Ch. 3, Attention and Performance)- New work in neurosemantics (Ch. 5, Representation of Knowledge)- New meta-analyses on the regions of the brain that support working memory (Ch. 6, Human Memory: Encoding and Storage)- Evidence connecting the response of the dopamine neurons to theories of reinforcement learning (Ch. 11, Decision Making)- Research showing that single neurons are tuned to recognize specific numbers of objects (Ch. 14, Individual Differences in Cognition)   New Theoretical Frameworks Shaping Modern Research, including:- The current state of research on retrieval-induced interference (Ch. 7, Human Memory: Retention and Retrieval)- Dual-process theories of reasoning (Ch. 11, Decision Making)- The increasing role of Bayesian analyses in cognitive psychology, and an example of how the world's kinship terms are optimally chosen for communicative purposes (Ch. 12, Language Structure)- The role of situation models in text comprehension (Ch. 13, Language Comprehension)

Описание: Renowned experts in adult development and aging, Manfred Diehl and Hans?Werner Wahl synthesize decades of psychological research into a comprehensive volume that considers later life in the context of lifespan development, social and physical environmental factors, and historical amp ndash cultural influences. In so doing, they review important research on cognitive functioning, behavioral processes, personality and identity development, and overall well?being in middle to late adulthood.   Diehl and Wahl amp rsquo s three-part framework helps readers better understand that the development process is influenced by multiple factors and can take many different trajectories. Through this contextualized perspective, they examine the influence that previous life experiences, beginning in early childhood, can have on the aging process in older adults. This includes social relations, technological advances, societal perspectives on aging, and education. The authors also examine the challenges and opportunities of aging, using a strength?based approach to promote a diverse, nuanced understanding of successful, healthy aging.   Chapters also conclude with dialogues from other experts in the field, offering multiple different perspectives on the research.

Описание:

This groundbreaking monograph offers a mechanistic theory of the representation and use of semantic knowledge, integrating the strengths and overcoming many of the weaknesses of hierarchical, categorization-based approaches, similarity-based approaches, and the approach often called "theory theory." Building on earlier models by Geoffrey Hinton in the 1980s and David Rumelhart in the early 1990s, the authors propose that performance in semantic tasks arises through the propagation of graded signals in a system of interconnected processing units. The representations used in performing these tasks are patterns of activation across units, governed by weighted connections among them. Semantic knowledge is acquired through the gradual adjustment of the strengths of these connections in the course of day-to-day experience.

The authors show how a simple computational model proposed by Rumelhart exhibits a progressive differentiation of conceptual knowledge, paralleling aspects of cognitive development seen in the work of Frank Keil and Jean Mandler. The authors extend the model to address aspects of conceptual knowledge acquisition in infancy, disintegration of conceptual knowledge in dementia, "basic-level" effects and their interaction with expertise, and many findings introduced to support the idea that semantic cognition is guided by naive, domain-specific theories.

Описание: This book proposes a quantum physical basis for consciousness and its place in the natural world, and explores the implications of this perspective for the social sciences. Wendt`s argument provides a philosophical basis for human agency through free will, and for a holistic or `non-local` vision of social life.
