Executive functions develop during the first years of life and
determine future learning and personal development. Executive
dysfunction is related to various neurodevelopmental disorders, so
its study is of great interest for intervention in children with
neurotypical development and in those who have suffered a
neurodevelopmental disorder. The Handbook of Research on
Neurocognitive Development of Executive Functions and Implications
for Intervention offers updated research on executive functions and
their implication in psychoeducational intervention. It establishes
a multidisciplinary context to discuss both intervention experience
and research results in different areas of knowledge. Covering
topics such as childhood inhibitory processing, mindfulness
interventions, and language development, this major reference work
is an excellent resource for psychologists, medical professionals,
researchers, academicians, educators, and students.
'A fascinating, in-depth investigation into the complex landscape
of misinformation from someone who has spent his career trying to
combat fake news' Angela Saini One of the world's top experts on
fighting misinformation reveals the psychology behind its power -
and how we can protect ourselves. From fake news to conspiracy
theories, from pandemics to politics, misinformation may be the
defining problem of our era. Like a virus, misinformation infects
our minds - altering our beliefs and replicating at astonishing
rates. Once the virus takes hold, our primary strategies of
fact-checking and debunking are an insufficient cure. In Foolproof
Sander van der Linden describes how to inoculate yourself and
others against the spread of misinformation, discern fact from
fiction and push back against methods of mass persuasion. Everyone
is susceptible to fake news. There are polarising narratives in
society, conspiracy theories are rife, fake experts dole out
misleading advice and accuracy is often lost in favour of
sensationalist headlines. So how and why does misinformation spread
if we're all aware of its existence? And, more importantly, what
can we do about it? Sander van der Linden takes us through the
psychology of conspiratorial thinking and equips us with the eleven
antigens needed to help stop the spread of misinformation once and
for all.
