Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1979. The aim of this series of Tutorial Essays, of which the present book is the second volume, is to enable the specialist in one area to discover in as painless a way as possible what his colleagues in other parts of the field are up to: New discoveries, methods and theories in one speciality often have important implications for work in others. The essays are also intended to be intelligible and useful to graduate students and advanced undergraduates seeking an introduction to a topic.

Mark Georgeson expounds an important new approach to vision, the application of Fourier analysis: His chapter contains an exceptionally clear exposition of the ideas underlying this technique written for the reader with little mathematical knowledge. Dennis Holding provides a synthesis of the many different approaches to the problem of echoic memory, and Gregory Jones presents some new ideas on associative memory which make many previously puzzling results fall into place.

Download or read book Cognitive Psychology written by Lawrence W. Barsalou and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text presents the basic concepts of modern cognitive psychology in a succinct and accessible manner. Empirical results, theoretical developments, and current issues are woven around basic concepts to produce coherent accounts of research areas. Barsalou's primary goal is to equip readers with a conceptual vocabulary that acquaints them with the general approach of cognitive psychology and allows them to follow more technical discussions elsewhere. In meeting this goal, he discusses the traditional work central to modern thinking and reviews current work relevant to cognitive science. Besides focusing on research and theory in cognitive psychology, Barsalou also addresses its fundamental assumptions. Because the cognitive approach to psychology is somewhat subtle, often misunderstood, and sometimes controversial, it is essential for a text on cognitive psychology to address the assumptions that underlie it. Therefore, three of the eleven chapters address the "meta- assumptions" that govern research and theory in cognitive psychology. These meta-chapters provide a deeper understanding of the content areas and a clearer vision of what cognitive psychologists are trying to accomplish. The remaining eight "content" chapters cover the central topics in cognitive psychology. This book will be of value to a variety of audiences. Ideal for researchers in computer science, linguistics, philosophy, anthropology, and neuroscience who wish to acquaint themselves with cognitive psychology, it may also be used as a text for courses in cognitive science and cognitive psychology. Lay readers who wish to learn about the cognitive approach to scientific psychology will also find the volume useful.
