This book updates the Dual Coding Theory of mind (DCT), a theory of
modern human cognition consisting of separate but interconnected
nonverbal and verbal systems. Allan Paivio, a leading scholar in
cognitive psychology, presents this masterwork as new findings in
psychological research on memory, thought, language, and other core
areas have flourished, as have pioneering developments in the
cognitive neurosciences." Mind and Its Evolution "provides a
thorough exploration into how these adaptive nonverbal and verbal
systems might have evolved, as well as a careful comparison of DCT
with contrasting "single-code" cognitive theories.
Divided into four parts, this text begins with a general,
systematic theory of modern human cognition as the reference model
for interpreting the cognitive abilities of evolutionary ancestors.
The first half of the book discusses mind as it is; the second half
addresses how it came to be that way. Each half is subdivided into
two parts defined by thematic chapters. "Mind and Its Evolution
"concludes with evidence-based suggestions about nourishing mental
growth through applications of DCT in education, psychotherapy, and
health.
This volume will appeal to cognitive and evolutionary
psychologists, as well as students in the areas of memory,
language, cognition, and mind evolution specialists in psychology,
philosophy, and other disciplines.
