These two volumes represent the cutting edge of contemporary theory and research in psychological science. Based on the keynote and state-of-the-art lectures from the 27th International Congress of Psychology, the volumes feature a collection of chapters written by international leaders in psychological scholarship. The chapters reflect the diversity of current research topics in psychology, where old boundaries have become obsolete and subdivisions from the past merge to form new objects of study. Volume 1 addresses cognitive, biological, and health perspectives. It includes sections on the neural mechanisms underlying psychological processes; the core areas in experimental psychology, perception, attention, learning, and memory; the multiple aspects of psychological health; the interaction between cognitive and emotional processes; and higher cognitive processes with special focus on decision-making and language. Volume 2 deals with social, developmental, and clinical perspectives. The sections highlight human development across the life span; basic and applied issues in personality, emotion, and clinical psychology; social psychology, ranging from experimental work through social constructivism; and gender.

Written by a group of developmental scientists, this book debates
cognitive achievements in early infancy from a multidisciplinary
perspective. The editors combine knowledge from different areas of
infant development research to present an integrated view of the
cognitive abilities emerging in early infancy. The chapters are
arranged in a sequence that best conveys to the reader the line of
reasoning that emerged during the development of this book. The
book opens with chapters dealing with fundamental and general
aspects of cognitive development, sweeps through the specific theme
of language acquisition, and closes by returning to general
questions concerning different representation modalities.
This book addresses the central role played by development in
cognition. The focus is on applying our knowledge of development in
natural cognitive systems, specifically human infants, to the
problem of creating artificial cognitive systems in the guise of
humanoid robots. The approach is founded on the three-fold premise
that (a) cognition is the process by which an autonomous
self-governing agent acts effectively in the world in which it is
embedded, (b) the dual purpose of cognition is to increase the
agent's repertoire of effective actions and its power to anticipate
the need for future actions and their outcomes, and (c) development
plays an essential role in the realization of these cognitive
capabilities. Our goal in this book is to identify the key design
principles for cognitive development. We do this by bringing
together insights from four areas: enactive cognitive science,
developmental psychology, neurophysiology, and computational
modelling. This results in roadmap comprising a set of forty-three
guidelines for the design of a cognitive architecture and its
deployment in a humanoid robot. The book includes a case study
based on the iCub, an open-systems humanoid robot which has been
designed specifically as a common platform for research on embodied
cognitive systems .

Extensive neurophysiological and neuropsychological evidence show
that perception, action, and cognition are closely related in the
brain and develop in parallel to one another. Thus, perception,
cognition, and social functioning are all anchored in the actions
of the child. Actions reflect the motives, the problems to be
solved, and the constraints and possibilities of the child s body
and sensory-motor system. The developing brain accumulates
experiences which it translates into knowledge used in planning
future actions. Such knowledge is available because events are
governed by rules and regularities. The present volume discusses
all these aspects of how action and cognition are related in
development.
