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.

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.

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

Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies

Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies

Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies is the first text to introduce human development and family studies (HDFS) as inextricably linked areas of study giving students a complex yet realistic view of individuals and families. Pioneers of research paradigms have acknowledged that the family is one setting in which human development occurs. Moreover in many academic programs the lines of these two disciplines blur and much work is inherently multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. This book helps to fortify an understanding of HDFS and subareas within it. Vignettes from current HDFS students as well as new professionals an overview of the lifespan stage(s) within the family context a wide description of research methods and applications current policy issues relevant to the area and discussions of practice/careers coupled with strategies for pursuing specializations or careers in the area are hallmarks of this textbook. Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies is essential reading for students new to the major and minor wanting to know: What is HDFS? Who are the people involved in HDFS? Why is HDFS important? How does theory and research inform work in HDFS? What does the pursuit of being an ethical professional require? What are the key areas in HDFS? Incredibly user-friendly both on the page and online the text also features the following resources: Chapter Summaries where the main points of each chapter are pinpointed at the end of every chapter for review and study. Key Terms listed and defined within the margins of every chapter a complete Glossary at the end of the text and Flashcards online for additional review and study. Challenge: Integration section at the end of each chapter that underscores concepts from the chapter and draws connections between content presented in other chapters. Journal Questions to encourage reflection about the content and encourage thinking about some of the content coupled with students’ own experiences. Suggested Resources that lists relevant websites books articles and video links for further study. A Closer Look at Applied Experiences Appendix outlines the internship process and shows how the internship experience can be meaningful and useful and a Consuming Research Appendix that focuses on what it means to be a consumer of research the knowledge and skills consumers need and considerations for transitioning from a consumer of research to a producer of research.

Errorless Learning and Rehabilitation of Language and Memory Impairments

Errorless Learning and Rehabilitation of Language and Memory Impairments

This special issue of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation brings together seven newly published studies from a range of invited international researchers in the fields of language and memory disorders and their rehabilitation. The studies address a range of current themes within these fields. Critical consideration is made of the concept of errorless learning in light of the current learning literature by Middleton & Schwartz. Identification of a locus to an errorless learning advantage in non-clinical participants is provided by Anderson and colleagues. Evaluations of errorless learning applied to a range of clinical presentations are provided including semantic dementia (Jokel & colleagues) anomia in Alzheimer’s disease (Noonan & colleagues) aphasia (Raymer & colleagues; Conroy & Scowcroft) and apraxia of speech (Whiteside & colleagues). The breadth and depth of these studies offers an up-to-date and comprehensive account of research developments in errorless learning and rehabilitation of language and memory impairments. They delineate some of the current critical theoretical-clinical issues through which we might optimise learning and rehabilitative efforts more fully. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Neuropsychological Rehabilitation.

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.

Nonverbal Behavior and Communication

Nonverbal Behavior and Communication

First published in 1987. An attractive feature of nonverbal communication as a research area is that it has captured the interest of scholars of different disciplinary backgrounds psychologists linguists anthropologists psychiatrists and sociologists with each discipline bringing to the area its peculiar theoretical and methodological perspectives and biases. Each of these disciplines also tend to have a favorite topic or problem area within the general domain of nonverbal communication. Along with the varying yet overlapping topical concerns that the different disciplines bring to the area of nonverbal communication are major differences in methodology. The sections into which the book is divided roughly organize the chapters in terms of their concerns with the bodily structures and zones that are involved in nonverbal behavior. | Nonverbal Behavior and Communication

Psychology of Fear Crime and the Media International Perspectives

Psychology of Fear Crime and the Media International Perspectives

The media continue to have a significant persuasive influence on the public perception of crime even when the information presented is not reflective of the crime rate or actual crime itself. There have been numerous theoretical studies on fear of crime in the media but few have considered this from a social psychological perspective. As new media outlets emerge and public dependence on them increases the need for such awareness has never been greater. This volume lays the foundation for understanding fear of crime from a social psychological perspective in a way that has not yet been systematically presented to the academic world. This volume brings together an international team of experts and scholars to assess the role of fear and the media in everyday life. Chapters take a multidisciplinary approach to psychology sociology and criminology and explore such topics as dual process theory construal level theory public fascination with gangs and other contemporary issues. | Psychology of Fear Crime and the Media International Perspectives

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
