How They Affect Genes, Change the Brain, and Impact Our World
Based on common set of scientific principles, scientists have been able to create mathematical models of certain behaviors, This book tells the story of how something so deceptively simple can help make sense of so much. It presents an introduction to a new field of science that is truly epic in scope.
Includes over 25 psychologists and scholars who present the pros and cons of regarding self-criticism as either ""good"" or ""bad.""

A traumatic brain injury rehabilitation specialist and a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist provide a thorough overview of the rapidly evolving field of cognitive rehabilitation. Beginning with a review of the fundamentals of practice, the volume then covers rehabilitation methods with appl
When do human beings begin producing gestures and how do they evolve throughout our cognitive and social development? This book investigates the rich and complex ways in which gesture precedes language development and then is used in conjunction with language across the lifespan.
Brings the study of cognitive dissonance into the 21st century. Contributors survey discoveries about the role dissonance plays in a variety of information processes, as well as connections between dissonance processes and other motivational processes. Mathematical and action-based models that summarize how dissonance works are also presented.
In this groundbreaking volume, the authors introduce a novel conditional reasoning (CR) framework to indirectly assess the implicit personality--the unconscious, inaccessible component of personality that governs much of our behavior but has always been difficult to measure.
Selection and Control in Human Information Processing
This textbook presents a comprehensive and accessible overview of the science of attention, conveying central findings and applications to real-world issues, such as its relationship with technology, learning, and memory.
