Book Synopsis The McCollough Effect by : C. C. D. Shute
Download or read book The McCollough Effect written by C. C. D. Shute and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1979-05-31 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a study of one of the most extraordinary and mysterious of all visual phenomena - that known by the name of its discoverer Celeste McCollough. Many such psychophysical effects may be regarded as little more than laboratory curiosities, not necessarily of great importance in everyday life. The McCollough effect certainly involves 'phantom' colours, i.e. colours generated within the visual system of the brain rather than resulting from the character of the light reaching the eye, but nevertheless has properties that make one unwilling to accord it the status of a mere optical illusion. Of course, even illusions can form valuable objects of study, since the perceptual confusions resulting from particular external influences may reveal unsuspected aspects of the sensory processes themselves.
Book Synopsis Psychology of Learning and Motivation by :
Download or read book Psychology of Learning and Motivation written by and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 1992-11-26 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the series has always been to provide a forum in which leading contributors to an area can write about significant bodies of research in which they are involved. The operating procedure has been to invite contributions from interesting, active investigators, and then allow them essentially free rein to present their perspectives on important research problems. The result of such invitations over the past two decades has been collections of papers which consist of thoughtful integrations providing an overview of a particular scientific problem. The series has an excellent tradition of high quality papers and is widely read by researchers incognitive and experimental psychology. The volume presents research ranging from classical and instrumental conditioning to complex learning and problem solving. Topics covered fall within a wide range of disciplines from neuroscience to artificial intelligence.
Book Synopsis Perceptual Constancy by : Vincent Walsh
Download or read book Perceptual Constancy written by Vincent Walsh and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-08-13 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is not always truly reflected in what we see. The brain creates images, fills in gaps and even at times constructs fictions. This book brings together experts from several diverse fields to present state of the art accounts of how the visual world enters two small holes in our heads and is reconstructed to give us the rich impressions of color, movement, and shape.
Book Synopsis Visual Coding and Adaptability by : C. S. Harris
Download or read book Visual Coding and Adaptability written by C. S. Harris and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1980. This book is the first integrated presentation of two of the most active areas in present-day visual research. Its inspiration and nucleus were provided by two Optical Society of America symposia, one on the coding of spatial information in the visual system and the other on adaptability of the visual system. Although the two topics might seem, at first sight, only distantly related, they are actually extensively intertwined in contemporary research. Some investigators focus on mechanisms of visual analysis but rely on experimental modification of perception to reveal the nature of the coding; others focus on perceptual modification but look at analytic elements for indications about what it is that gets modified. Likewise, most of the chapters in this book combine, in varying proportions, both themes. Adult human perception is the primary concern, but illuminating data from animal, infant, and neurophysiological studies are also discussed.
Book Synopsis A Taxonomy of Visual Processes by : William R. Uttal
Download or read book A Taxonomy of Visual Processes written by William R. Uttal and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-06-27 with total page 1090 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1981, this third volume deals with the empirical data base and the theories concerning visual perception – the set of mental responses to photic stimulation of the eyes. As the book develops, the plan was to present a general taxonomy of visual processes and phenomena. It was hoped that such a general perspective would help to bring some order to the extensive, but largely unorganized, research literature dealing with our immediate perceptual responses to visual stimuli at the time. The specific goal of this work was to provide a classification system that integrates and systematizes the data base of perceptual psychology into a comprehensive intellectual scheme by means of an eclectic, multi-level metatheory invoking several different kinds of explanation.
Book Synopsis The Science of Learning by : Joseph J. Pear
Download or read book The Science of Learning written by Joseph J. Pear and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing at an ever-increasing pace for over a century, the solid body of concepts and facts that constitute the science of learning demand a comprehensive, systematic introduction. Completely up-to-date and written in a direct, easy-to-read style that is suitable for undergraduates, The Science of Learning is such an introduction. Because its focus is on what is known rather than what is speculated, this book differs from other learning texts by not dwelling on which theories are or are not in vogue. The text's comprehensive coverage makes it an ideal reference for more advanced scholars and specialists in learning and related fields.

Book Synopsis Developmental Psychopathology, Maladaptation and Psychopathology by : Dante Cicchetti
Download or read book Developmental Psychopathology, Maladaptation and Psychopathology written by Dante Cicchetti and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-02-10 with total page 2819 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive reference on external contributing factors in psychopathology Developmental Psychopathology is a four-volume compendium of the most complete and current research on every aspect of the field. Volume Three: Risk, Disorder, and Adaptation explores the everyday effects and behaviors of those with behavioral, mental, or neurological disorders, and the disorder's real-world impact on their well-being. Now in its third edition, this comprehensive reference has been fully updated to better reflect the current state of the field, and detail the latest findings in causation, intervention, contextual factors, and the risks associated with atypical development. Contributions from expert researchers and clinicians explore the effects of abuse and traumatic stress, memory development, emotion regulation, impulsivity, and more, with chapters specifically targeted toward autism, schizophrenia, narcissism, antisocial behavior, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder. Advances in developmental psychopathology have burgeoned since the 2006 publication of the second edition, and keeping up on the latest findings in multiple avenues of investigation can be burdensome to the busy professional. This series solves the problem by collecting the information into one place, with a logical organization designed for easy reference. Learn how childhood experiences contribute to psychopathology Explore the relationship between atypical development and substance abuse Consider the impact or absence of other developmental traits Understand the full risk potential of any behavioral or mental disorder The complexity of a field as diverse as developmental psychopathology deepens with each emerging theory, especially with consideration of the multiple external factors that have major effects on a person's mental and emotional development. Developmental Psychopathology Volume Three: Risk, Disorder, and Adaptation compiles the latest information into a cohesive, broad-reaching reference with the most recent findings.
Book Synopsis Science of Vision by : K.N. Leibovic
Download or read book Science of Vision written by K.N. Leibovic and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Converging lines of biological, perceptual and theoretical approaches are brought together in The Science of Vision to give a new perspective on the brain sciences and vision in particular. The book contains contributions from experts in the fields of biophysics, physiology, psychology and computation. While reviewing some basic knowledge, it mainly presents fresh ideas and includes some new results. The topics range from cells through perception to neurocomputing and are treated in depth, taking the specialist to the frontiers of research. At the same time the book is written in a manner understandable to the nonspecialist, in keeping with the multidisciplinary appeal of the subject. A glossary of terms also makes the book easy to read. In our age of specialization, this integrated approach is a welcome addition to the literature which will further interdisciplinary research and shed new light on the vision sciences.

Book Synopsis Elsevier's Dictionary of Psychological Theories by : J.E. Roeckelein
Download or read book Elsevier's Dictionary of Psychological Theories written by J.E. Roeckelein and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2006-01-19 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In attempting to understand and explain various behaviour, events, and phenomena in their field, psychologists have developed and enunciated an enormous number of 'best guesses' or theories concerning the phenomenon in question. Such theories involve speculations and statements that range on a potency continuum from 'strong' to 'weak'. The term theory, itself, has been conceived of in various ways in the psychological literature. In the present dictionary, the strategy of lumping together all the various traditional descriptive labels regarding psychologists 'best guesses' under the single descriptive term theory has been adopted. The descriptive labels of principle, law, theory, model, paradigm, effect, hypothesis and doctrine are attached to many of the entries, and all such descriptive labels are subsumed under the umbrella term theory.The title of this dictionary emphasizes the term theory (implying both strong and weak best guesses) and is a way of indication, overall, the contents of this comprehensive dictionary in a parsimonious and felicitous fashion.The dictionary will contain approximately 2,000 terms covering the origination, development, and evolution of various psychological concepts, as well as the historical definition, analysis, and criticisms of psychological concepts. Terms and definitions are in English.*Contains over 2,000 terms covering the origination, development and evolution of various psychological concepts*Covers a wide span of theories, from auditory, cognitive tactile and visual to humor and imagery*An essential resource for psychologists needing a single-source quick reference
Book Synopsis Perceptual and Associative Learning by : Geoffrey Hall
Download or read book Perceptual and Associative Learning written by Geoffrey Hall and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1991-11-28 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional theories of associative learning have found no place for the possibility that the way in which events are perceived might change as a result of experience. Evidence for the reality of perceptual learning has come from those studied by learning theorists. The work reviewed in this book shows that learned changes in perceptual organization can in fact be demonstrated, even in experiments using procedures (such as conditioning and simple discrimination learning) of the type on which associative theories have been based. These results come from procedures that have been the focus of detailed theoretical and empirical analysis; and from this analysis emerges an outline of the mechanisms responsible. Some of these are themselves associative; others require the addition of nonassociative mechanisms to the traditional theory. The result is an extended version of associative theory which, it is argued, will be relevant not only to the experimental procedures discussed in this book but to the entire range of instances of perceptual learning.
Download or read book Placebo and Pain written by Luana Colloca and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The placebo effect continues to fascinate scientists, scholars, and clinicians, resulting in an impressive amount of research, mainly in the field of pain. While recent experimental and clinical studies have unraveled salient aspects of the neurobiological substrates and clinical relevance of pain and placebo analgesia, an authoritative source remained lacking until now. By presenting and integrating a broad range of research, Placebo and Pain enhances readers' knowledge about placebo and nocebo effects, reexamines the methodology of clinical trials, and improves the therapeutic approaches for patients suffering from pain. Review for Placebo and Pain:"This ambitious book is the first comprehensive and unified presentation of the placebo and nocebo phenomena in the area of pain. Written by the international leading experts in the field, the book provides an accurate up-to-date [work] on placebo and pain dealing with current perspectives and future challenging issues.--Ted Kaptchuk, Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School - Contains historical aspects of the placebo effect - Discusses biological and psychological mechanisms of placebo analgesic responses - Reviews implications of the placebo effect for clinical research and pain management - Includes methodological and ethical aspects of the placebo effect
Book Synopsis Representational Momentum by : Ian M. Thornton
Download or read book Representational Momentum written by Ian M. Thornton and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual experience of the world is characterised as much by movement and change as it is by permanence and stability. Understanding how the brain processes dynamic information poses major challenges for theories of cognition and perception. Are dynamic and static objects represented in the same way? How do we extract stability from dynamics? How can we successfully interact with moving objects and overcome the known neural delays of our sensory systems? Representational momentum - the tendency for observers to misremember the stopping point of a perceived event as being further ahead in the depicted direction of motion and/or change - has played an important role in attempts to address such questions. Research on representational momentum has given rise to the concept of "dynamic mental representations", helped popularise a range of methods for probing memory for visual objects and events, and inspired a broader consideration of anticipation and localisation during perception, cognition, and action. This collection of papers brings together work from many of the leading experts in representational momentum research, and more generally, from the fields of object localization and dynamics. In addition to presenting new findings from behavioural and neuroimaging studies, this collection also includes several new attempts to link this area of work with broader issues in the perception and representation of dynamic objects.
