Human behavior would not be interesting to us if it remained the
same from one moment to the next. Moreover, we tend to be sensitive
to changes in people's behavior, especially when such change
impacts on our own, and other's, behavior. This book describes a
variety of techniques for investigating change in behavior. It
employs conventional time series methods, as well as recently
developed methodology using nonlinear dynamics, including chaos, a
term that is not easy to define, nor to confirm.
Although nonlinear methods are being used more frequently in
psychology, a comprehensive coverage of methods, theory and
applications, with a particular focus on human behavior, is needed.
Between these covers, the reader is led through various procedures
for linear and nonlinear time series analysis, including some novel
procedures that allow subtle temporal aspects of human cognition to
be detected. Analyses of reaction times, heart-rate, psychomotor
skill, decision making, and EEG are supplemented by a contemporary
review of recent dynamical research in developmental psychology,
psychopathology, and human cognitive processes. A consideration of
nonlinear dynamics assists our understanding of deep issues such
as: Why is our short-term memory capacity limited? Why do chronic
disorders, and also cognitive development, progress through
stage-like transitions? Why do people make irrational decisions?
This book will be of particular interest to researchers,
practitioners, and advanced students in a variety of areas in
psychology, particularly in human experimental and physiological
psychology. Data analyses are performed using the latest nonlinear
dynamics computer packages. A comprehensive WWW resource of
software and supplementary information is provided to assist the
reader's understanding of the novel, and potentially revolutionary,
procedures described in the book.
