Download or read book Cultural Psychology of Recursive Processes written by Zachary Beckstead and published by IAP. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Psychology of Recursivity illustrates how recursivity, often neglected in the social sciences, can be an important concept for illuminating meaning-making processes. Recusrivity is a fascinating though abstract concept with a wide array of often incompatible definitions. Rooted in mathematics and linguistics, this book brings recursion and recursive processes to the foreground of psychological processes. One unifying claim among the diverse chapters in this book is that recursion and recursive processes are at the core of complex social and psychological processes. Recursion is bound up with the notion of re-turning, re-examining, re-flecting and circling back, and these processes allow for human beings to simultaneously distance themselves from the here-and-now settings (by imaging the past and future) while being immersed in them. The objective of this book is not simply to celebrate the complexity of human living, but to extend the notion of recursion, recursivity and recursive processes into the realm of social and psychological processes beyond the arenas in which these ideas have currently thrived. Cultural Psychology of Recursivity shows that in spite of the difficulty in defining recursivity, self-referencing (looping), transformation (generativity), complexity, and holism constitute its core characteristics and provide the basis for which authors in this book explore and elaborate this concept. Still, each contribution has its own unique take on recursivity and how it is applied to their phenomenon of investigation. Chapters in this book examine how recursive processes are related to and basic aspects of play and ritual, imitation, identity exploration, managing stigma, and commemorative practices. This book is intended for psychologists, sociologists, and mathematicians. Use of the book in post-graduate and graduate level of university teaching is expected in seminar format teaching occasions.

Download or read book Book 4 Psychology PB written by Kurt Jurgensmeier and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-08-22 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does Scripture say about the human heart? The human "heart" is where we meet God, believe Him, and obey Him. Which is why the psychological use of "heart" is used over 1000 times in Scripture, not including the hundreds of synonymous references to the human mind, spirit, soul, and conscience. Contrary to many, there is a lot of psychology in the Bible. This book is first a biblical study on the different aspects of the human "heart" including our reason, will, and emotions. Included is an important chapter on how we change our "heart" and thus our life. Secondly, we discuss the dangers of how the Charismatic movement has elevated emotion over reason in both worship and prayer. Finally, we correct the common mistake in theology of not distinguishing between the abilities of the devil-darkened reason of the unregenerated and the Spirit-liberated reason of the regenerated. In the process, we describe the psychological aspects of conversion.

Download or read book Mind Matters written by David M. Steier and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a symposium honoring the extensive work of Allen Newell -- one of the founders of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, human-computer interaction, and the systematic study of computational architectures -- this volume demonstrates how unifying themes may be found in the diversity that characterizes current research on computers and cognition. The subject matter includes: * an overview of cognitive and computer science by leading researchers in the field; * a comprehensive description of Allen Newell's "Soar" -- a computational architecture he developed as a unified theory of cognition; * commentary on how the Soar theory of cognition relates to important issues in cognitive and computer science; * rigorous treatments of controversial issues in cognition -- methodology of cognitive science, hybrid approaches to machine learning, word-sense disambiguation in understanding material language, and the role of capability processing constraints in architectural theory; * comprehensive and systematic methods for studying architectural evolution in both hardware and software; * a thorough discussion of the use of analytic models in human computer interaction; * extensive reviews of important experiments in the study of scientific discovery and deduction; and * an updated analysis of the role of symbols in information processing by Herbert Simon. Incorporating the research of top scientists inspired by Newell's work, this volume will be of strong interest to a large variety of scientific communities including psychologists, computational linguists, computer scientists and engineers, and interface designers. It will also be valuable to those who study the scientific process itself, as it chronicles the impact of Newell's approach to research, simultaneously delving into each scientific discipline and producing results that transcend the boundaries of those disciplines.
