Coverage includes different cognitive models of attention; knowledge emerging from functional imaging and genetic studies; and neurophysiological, developmental, and neuropsychological approaches. Emerging knowledge is presented on processes that impair or alter attention, and clinical implications are discussed. Linking many levels of analysis, and featuring over 100 illustrations, the book moves us closer to a coherent view of the attentional system and the key role it plays in everyday life.

Download or read book PSYCHOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF MUSICAL BEHAVIOR written by Rudolf E. Radocy and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth edition of Psychological Foundations of Musical Behavior appears at a time of continuing worldwide anxiety and turmoil. We have learned a lot about human musical behavior, and we have some understanding of how music can meet diverse human needs. In this exceptional new edition, the authors have elected to continue a “one volume” coverage of a broad array of topics, guided by three criteria: The text is comprehensive in its coverage of diverse areas comprising music psychology; it is comprehensible to the reader; and it is contemporary in its inclusion of information gathered in recent years. Chapter organization recognizes the traditional and more contemporary domains, with special emphases on psychoacoustics, musical preference, learning, and the psychological foundations of rhythm, melody, and harmony. Following the introductory preview chapter, the text examines diverse views of why people have music and considers music’s functions for individuals, its social values, and its importance as a cultural phenomenon. “Functional music” and music as a therapeutic tool is discussed, including descriptions and relationships involving psychoacoustical phenomena, giving considerable attention to perception, judgment, measurement, and physical and psychophysical events. Rhythmic behaviors and what is involved in producing and responding to rhythms are explored. The organization of horizontal and vertical pitch, tonality, scales, and value judgments, as well as related pedagogical issues are also considered. The basic aspects of musical performance, improvisation, composition, existing musical preferences and tastes, approaches to studying the affective response to music with particular emphasis on developments in psychological aesthetics are examined. The text closely relates the development and prediction of musical ability, music learning as a form of human learning, and music abnormalities, concluding with speculation regarding future research directions. The authors offer their latest review of aspects of human musical behavior with profound recognition of music’s enduring values.

Download or read book Working Memory Capacity written by Nelson Cowan and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of one's memory "filling up" is a humorous misconception of how memory in general is thought to work; it actually has no capacity limit. However, the idea of a "full brain" makes more sense with reference to working memory, which is the limited amount of information a person can hold temporarily in an especially accessible form for use in the completion of almost any challenging cognitive task. This groundbreaking book explains the evidence supporting Cowan's theoretical proposal about working memory capacity, and compares it to competing perspectives. Cognitive psychologists profoundly disagree on how working memory is limited: whether by the number of units that can be retained (and, if so, what kind of units and how many), the types of interfering material, the time that has elapsed, some combination of these mechanisms, or none of them. The book assesses these hypotheses and examines explanations of why capacity limits occur, including vivid biological, cognitive, and evolutionary accounts. The book concludes with a discussion of the practical importance of capacity limits in daily life. This 10th anniversary Classic Edition will continue to be accessible to a wide range of readers and serve as an invaluable reference for all memory researchers.
Download or read book Longevity written by Ashlee Kirschner and published by Library and Archives Canada. This book was released on 2019-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many begin following Christ, but few finish. Plausible doubts flare up eroding simple faith. Loss and emotional upheaval storm through and the reality of God seems but a fanatical myth. Following Christ starts out easy, but somewhere along the way, it becomes excruciating. I know this for I have lived it. Longevity is my story of finding and following God amidst doubts, hurts, and failures. It might be too honest, but maybe that's what you need. Maybe you need to see someone else flailing and meeting God in the mess." Longevity delves into the hurdles I've overcome (and am overcoming) to continually follow Christ. You will see the logical struggles I've had with the Christian faith and Bible as well as the truths I've found along the way. You will get a glimpse into my relationship with Christ and the emotional upheavals we've journeyed through: from singleness and sin to struggling with Heaven and Hell and hope. This book is terribly honest and truly reflective of my heart. If I did not think the experiences I've had and the words I write had the power to immensely encourage you, I would have not gone through the effort. It has been an absolute battle (emotionally and technologically) to get this book to a point where you can hold it in your hands. I strongly believe this process was a battle because this little book has the power to affect you. Please take the time to read and ponder the messages I present. Nothing in this book has been easily arrived at and nothing has been written without much struggle going on in the background. This book is my gift to you. -ashlee PS Want to hear more from me?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music plays an important role in all our lives, and is a channel through which we can express emotions, thoughts, political statements, and social relationships. However, just as music can be a channel through which we express ourselves, it can also have a profound influence on our own developing sense of identity. This is the first book to explore the powerful effect that music can have as we develop our sense of identity, from adolescence through to adulthood. Bringing together leading experts from psychology and music, it will be a valuable addition to the music psychology literature, and essential for music psychologists, social and developmental psychologists, and educational psychologists.

Download or read book Sensory Marketing written by Aradhna Krishna and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-02-25 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is sensory marketing and why is it interesting and also important? Krishna defines it as marketing that engages the consumers’ senses and affects their behaviors. In this edited book, the authors discuss how sensory aspects of products, i.e., the touch , taste, smell, sound, and look of the products, affect our emotions, memories, perceptions, preferences, choices, and consumption of these products. We see how creating new sensations or merely emphasizing or bringing attention to existing sensations can increase a product’s or service’s appeal. The book provides an overview of sensory marketing research that has taken place thus far. It should facilitate sensory marketing by practitioners and also can be used for research or in academic classrooms.

Book excerpt: "Music may offer a beneficial outcome on task performance for students, particularly those with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The current study expands upon research indicating a facilitative effect of music on task performance for children diagnosed with ADHD (Abikoff, Szeibel & Koplewicz, 1996). Forty general education students from 2 fifth grade classrooms completed a listening comprehension task and a visual-scanning task under two background conditions: typical classroom noise and a classical instrumental music selection. Results were compared for students with low and high levels of attentiveness per teacher ratings. Further study may result in a possible positive effect with extended intervention use"--Document.
