The chapters in this volume are the edited versions of invited
addresses to the XXVI International Congress of Psychology held in
Montreal in August 1996. As one major goal of the Congress was to
promote communication among specializations in scientific
psychology, the speakers were asked to survey their research area
and present their own work in a way that would be accessible to
their colleagues in other areas. Another purpose of the meeting was
to bring researchers together from different parts of the world,
reflecting their different approaches to the scientific study of
mind, brain, and behavior. Consequently, the eminent researchers
who have written the twenty-six chapters included in the present
volume were drawn from universities and research institutes in
North America, Europe, Japan, Russia, Israel, and New Zealand. The
chapters cover a range of topics in human and animal experimental
psychology. The first section deals with psychobiological processes
- the interplay of body and mind in determining intelligence,
stress, and pain. The next five chapters address current issues in
neuropsychology and neuroscience, including the neural correlates
of attention and vision. A third section looks at learning
processes in humans and animals, and a fourth deals with a range of
topics in perception and cognition. The final five chapters take a
developmental perspective, presenting theoretical and empirical
analyses of the acquisition of perceptual and cognitive abilities.
Overall, the collection illustrates the growing trend to break down
traditional barriers between areas of experimental psychology;
there are many instances of profitable interactions between
researchers studying aspects of behavior and those studying the
biological bases of these behaviors. The twenty-six chapters give
an excellent overview of current research in scientific psychology.
