It's a Jungle in There pursues the hypothesis that the overarching
theory of biology, Darwin's theory, should be the overarching
theory of cognitive psychology. David Rosenbaum, a cognitive
psychologist and former editor of the Journal of Experimental
Psychology, proposes that the phenomena of cognitive psychology can
be understood as emergent interactions among neural elements that
compete and cooperate in a kind of inner jungle. This perspective
allows Rosenbaum to present cognitive psychology in a new way, both
for students (for whom the book is mainly intended) and for
seasoned investigators (who may be looking for a fresh way to
approach and understand their material). Rather than depicting the
discipline as a rag-tag collection of miscellaneous facts, as has
generally been the case in textbooks, this book presents cognitive
psychology under a single rubric: "It's a jungle in there." Making
continual reference to hypothetical neural creatures eking out
their livings in a tough environment, the book offers an
over-arching principle that will both entertain readers and
motivate more in-depth study of the mind and brain.
