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

Personality in the Social Process

Personality in the Social Process

First published in 1985. This book presents a new way to ask an old question. Many fields have considered the nature of the influence that members of a group exert on the course of social events. Social science provides another way to examine this issue. Moreover social science has a particular strength: It helps us to phrase questions more precisely than before it encourages us to follow a line of rea­soning systematically and it requires us to evaluate our ideas in light of a par­ticular kind of evidence. The authors want to use these strengths to explore systematically the ways that factors in the person and in the environment to­gether may shape the emergence of social behavior. | Personality in the Social Process

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

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

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

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

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

Social Psychology Through Experiment

Social Psychology Through Experiment

Although widely taught to undergraduates teachers managers and adult students practical work and demonstrations in social psychology were often found very difficult to carry out satisfactorily. Originally published in 1962 this book presented for the first time a series of experiments which would work in a classroom setting: some are modified versions of classical experiments others were new. Several experiments are presented together with discussion of their background and implications in each of a number of central areas of social psychology. Each topic has been covered by a different author who has carried out research in the area in question and is experienced in demonstrating the main experimental facts in practical class work. The editors have written a challenging introduction in which some of the basic issues involved in experimental work in social behaviour are raised. | Social Psychology Through Experiment

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.
