"Judgment and Decision Making" is a refreshingly accessible text
that explores the wide variety of ways people make judgments.
An accessible examination of the wide variety of ways people make
judgments
Features up-to-date theoretical coverage, including perspectives
from evolutionary psychology and neuroscience
Covers dynamic decision making, everyday decision making,
individual differences, group decision making, and the nature of
mind and brain in relation to judgment and decision making
Illustrates key concepts with boxed case studies and cartoons
Developing better therapies for neurological conditions such as
Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases remains an enduring problem
for 21st century medicine. The testing of novel therapies will
continue to require a robust experimental animal model. The
marmoset is an ideal animal model for modern neurological research
because of the species' convenient body size, ease of handling, and
the fundamental similarity of its neuroanatomy to the human brain.
The Stereotaxic and Chemoarchitectural Atlas of the Brain of the
Common Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is the most detailed atlas of
the marmoset brain available. An essential tool for researchers
developing more effective therapies for disabling and debilitating
neurological disorders, the book contains: Fully delineated,
high-quality (400x magnification) images of Nissl-stained,
acetylcholinesterase histochemically-stained and parvalbumin,
calbindin and neurofilament immunohistochemically-stained coronal
and sagittal sections, as well as structural magnetic resonance
images (MRI) for direct comparisons Line diagrams with delineations
of all cortical and subcortical structures, with grid overlays so
the precise position of each structure can be located
stereotaxically relative to the interaural line and infraorbital
margin Quantitative data regarding volume and cell number of many
of the structures delineated in the atlas, regularly updated on an
accompanying website Standard nomenclature widely used in the
Paxinos group of atlases, allowing users to compare and contrast
homologous nuclei in different species using the major available
atlases The book combines modern imaging (MRI) with an accurate
stereotaxic and chemoarchitectonic section atlas, making the
fullest use of available technologies. The downloadable resources
include all the images in full color. Designed by publishing
neuroanatomists, this book/downloadable resources will be a
cornerstone in marmoset brain research for years to come.
The first international handbook to bring the areas of reasoning,
judgment and decision making together, now in paperback format. The
book brings three of the important topics of thinking together -
reasoning, judgment and decision making aACAACA" and discusses key
issues in each area. The studies described range from those that
are purely laboratory based to those that involve experts making
real world judgments, in areas such as medical and legal decision
making and political and economic forecasting.* International
collection of original chapters by leading researchers in the
field* Several chapters contain important new theoretical
perspectives* Paperback version is more affordable for individual
researchers
"They took me from my only home And chained me like some horrid
gnome And took me to some other land And taught me I was not a
man..." All poetry is an aspect of its author's inner being - a
reflection of his or her soul. This book presents a variety of
poems relating to the supernatural, justice, and love written from
the author's personal perspective.
