International perspectives on psychological science : [contributions from the 29th International Congress of Psychology, held in Berlin in 2008 ...] Vol. 1
Inhalt:
These two volumes present the main contributions from the 29th International Congress of Psychology, held in Berlin in 2008, and are written by international leaders in psychology from around the world. The authors present a variety of approaches and perspectives that reflect cutting-edge advances in psychological science. The volume "Cognition and Neuropsychology" is dedicated to summarizing and characterizing the current scientific state of affairs in three substantive content areas, Perception, Attention, and Action, Social Cognition, and Learning, Memory and Development. While some of the contributions focus on relatively narrow areas of research, others adopt a much broader stance, trying to understand and explain many different facets of behavior across widely differing situations. Some contributions even try to bridge the fundamental gap between behavior and genetics. The final part of the volume contains two chapters that discuss Fundamental General Issues in psychology, such as the fate of mentalism and the significance of phenomenal analyses. All chapters offer fascinating insights into modern and current theorizing on the mind, and are written by some of the best-known scholars of our time. This book will be an invaluable resource for researchers, professionals, teachers and students in the field of psychology.
