Book Synopsis Designing for Older Adults by : Arthur D. Fisk
Download or read book Designing for Older Adults written by Arthur D. Fisk and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2004-01-14 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As life expectancy increases, older workers and the retired form a large and growing proportion of the world’s population. Professionals working to develop systems and environments need to better accommodate the user needs of the older adult. This new guide provides a practical introduction to human factors and the older adult. It considers the subject primarily from an engineering psychology perspective, heavily grounded in today’s scientific knowledge. The authors show how current understanding of age-related issues of perception, cognition, and movement control can be applied in practice. They also provide a reference source with guidelines and advice for design issues ranging from lighting, computer input device selection, and web site design, to training program development and work task design. The text draws on research-oriented work and presents this in a form that can be used by the broad audience of product designers, health care practitioners, managers, and others who need answers to problems and require sound recommendations for design.
Book Synopsis Advances in Psychological Science, Volume 2 by : Fergus Craik
Download or read book Advances in Psychological Science, Volume 2 written by Fergus Craik and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters in this volume are the edited versions of invited addresses to the XXVI International Congress of Psychology held in Montréal in August 1996. As one major goal of the Congress was to promote communication among specializations in scientific psychology, the speakers were asked to survey their research area and present their own work in a way that would be accessible to their colleagues in other areas. Another purpose of the meeting was to bring researchers together from different parts of the world, reflecting their different approaches to the scientific study of mind, brain, and behavior. Consequently, the eminent researchers who have written the twenty-six chapters included in the present volume were drawn from universities and research institutes in North America, Europe, Japan, Russia, Israel, and New Zealand. The chapters cover a range of topics in human and animal experimental psychology. The first section deals with psychobiological processes - the interplay of body and mind in determining intelligence, stress, and pain. The next five chapters address current issues in neuropsychology and neuroscience, including the neural correlates of attention and vision. A third section looks at learning processes in humans and animals, and a fourth deals with a range of topics in perception and cognition. The final five chapters take a developmental perspective, presenting theoretical and empirical analyses of the acquisition of perceptual and cognitive abilities. Overall, the collection illustrates the growing trend to break down traditional barriers between areas of experimental psychology; there are many instances of profitable interactions between researchers studying aspects of behavior and those studying the biological bases of these behaviors. The twenty-six chapters give an excellent overview of current research in scientific psychology.

Book Synopsis International Perspectives On Psychological Science, II: The State of the Art by : Paul Bertelson
Download or read book International Perspectives On Psychological Science, II: The State of the Art written by Paul Bertelson and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-24 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays appearing in these two volumes are based on Keynote (Vol. 1) and State-of-the-Art (Vol. 2) Lectures delivered at the XXVth International Congress of Psychology, in Brussels, July 1992. The Brussels Congress was the latest in a series of conferences which are organized at regular intervals under the auspices of the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS), the main international organization in the field of Scientific Psychology. The first of those meetings took place in Paris in 1889. An important function of the International Congresses is to promote communication between different specializations in Psychology. Speakers were therefore asked to present lectures and discussions in their own fields of study, in a way that would be accessible to fellow psychologists active in other fields. State-of-the-Art lecturers were specifically asked to prepare a tutorial review on a topic which, in the view of the Program Committee, had recently given rise to particularly important developments. These contributions are included in Volume Two. Keynote lecturers were left free to address whatever subject they felt was of greatest interest. The chapters in Volume 1 are preceded by the Presidential Address by Mark R. Rosenzweig.

It is based on laboratory research and in conceptualizations from distinguished figures of the discipline, such as Skinner, Pavlov, Mach, and even Watson and Thorndike. It has generated a science (the experimental analysis of behaviour), a philosophy (behaviourism), and numerous practical applications (applied behaviour analysis). For several decades it was even considered to be the dominant paradigm in psychology. This special issue contains scientific articles in the main areas of behaviour analysis, both as a laboratory science and as an applied discipline. It covers representative research and applications of behaviour analysis at the beginning of the 21st century. The authors come from countries including the United States, China, Mexico, Spain, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Colombia, Poland, Greece. This special issue is an indication of the international relevance of this area of psychology, and its current state.
Book Synopsis Emerging from the Shadows by : Rodrick J. Lal
Download or read book Emerging from the Shadows written by Rodrick J. Lal and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging from the Shadows aims to enlighten academics, researchers, university students, and the general public about the development of mental health services in a university environment—with a special focus on racialized students. Based on research exploring the perceptions of racialized and non-racialized students at York University towards seeking help for mental health problems, this book collects the findings gleaned from nearly 500 students. The majority (84%) identified as Canadian racialized, mainly Asian, South Asian, Caribbean, Middle Eastern, and African. The remainder were Canadian non-racialized students identifying with the dominant Canadian culture. The study results showed that the shadows of attitudes and intentions toward seeking help were more negative among the racialized students, and a higher level of stigma was found to be a predictor of negative attitudes and lower intentions towards seeking mental health counselling among the racialized students. Interestingly, stigmatization among the racialized and non-racialized male students was higher than among the female students, while older racialized students tended to have higher positive scores for attitudes toward seeking help than younger students reported. Attitudes toward seeking help were more positive among the students who lived with their families. Previous mental diagnosis was also a significant predictor of a more positive attitude toward seeking help. Yet despite these findings, very few students in both groups used the counselling services or the online information system at York University to obtain support on mental health issues. Emerging from the Shadows sheds light on this still-taboo subject to enable educators and student communities to increase their awareness, enabling improvement to systems designed to help—especially for those racialized students in need.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Life-Span Development by : Karen L. Fingerman, PhD
Download or read book Handbook of Life-Span Development written by Karen L. Fingerman, PhD and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 2010-12-25 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The handbook is an impressive collection of research studies and theories provided by knowledgeable contributors on life-span development from conception to old age."--Anthropology and Aging Quarterly The doubling of our average life span since the turn of the 20th century is considered by many scholars to be one of the most important changes in human existence. This definitive text is the only volume to fully address, through a multidisciplinary perspective, the biological, cognitive, and psychological development that occurs from infancy through old age, and how the sociocultural and institutional factors interface with these changes. Edited by leading research scholars in the field of life-span development, the volume also includes contributions of specialists in behavioral genetics, socioemotional selectivity theory, neuroscience, ecological models, and more. It examines the dynamics of close relationships and informal ties among the elderly population, child-parent attachment relationships as a life-span phenomenon, developmental tasks across the lifespan, continuity and discontinuity in temperament and personality, the sociocultural context of cognition across the life span, and variability in approaches to social problem solving from early to later life. Given the number of recent demographic shifts, it also explores issues related to fertility, life expectancy, environmental contexts, technology, immigration, and public policy. Key Features: Integrates the full life span from infancy through old age in each chapter Considers multidisciplinary perspectives that address personal relationships, cognitive development, and social, emotional, and physical health across the life span Situates life-span development in ecological contexts (e.g., socioeconomic, neighborhood, and immigration status) Provides a concise but thorough resource for graduate seminars in life-span-related studies Highlights future issues in all areas of life-span study
