This book provides an overview of cutting-edge methods currently
being used in cognitive psychology, which are likely to appear with
increasing frequency in coming years. Once built around univariate
parametric statistics, cognitive psychology courses now seem
deficient without some contact with methods for signal processing,
spatial statistics, and machine learning. There are also important
changes in analyses of behavioral data (e.g., hierarchical modeling
and Bayesian inference) and there is the obvious change wrought by
the advancement of functional imaging. This book begins by
discussing the evidence of this rapid change, for example the
movement between using traditional analyses of variance to
multi-level mixed models, in psycholinguistics. It then goes on to
discuss the methods for analyses of physiological measurements, and
how these methods provide insights into cognitive processing. New
Methods in Cognitive Psychology provides senior undergraduates,
graduates and researchers with cutting-edge overviews of new and
emerging topics, and the very latest in theory and research for the
more established topics.
What does the Bible say about the value of women? Does the Bible
teach that women are as valuable as men or does it portray them as
somehow more flawed, more suspect, or weak and easily deceived?
Beginning from Genesis and working all the way through the
storyline of the Bible, Worthy demonstrates the significant and
yes, even surprising, ways that God has used women to accomplish
His kingdom goals. Because, like men, they are created in His
image, their lives reflect and declare His worth. Worthy will
enable and encourage both men and women to embrace this true and
lofty vision of God's creation, plan, and their value in His eyes.
Bestselling author Elyse Fitzpatrick and pastor Eric Schumacher
together invite women to embrace a transformative and empowering
view of their Maker, themselves, and the church. But this isn't
only a book for women. It is also a book for men, especially
leaders, who want to grow in their understanding of God's
perspective on women, people who normally make up the majority of
their congregations; men who might be wondering if they've missed
something amid the abuse scandals that are rocking the church.
Might the headlines they're reading today about abuse have their
roots in a denigration of the value and worth of women? Worthy:
Celebrating the Value of Women will help every reader see the
value, place, and calling of women through study questions and a
"Digging Deeper" section that will help men and women discover how
to cherish, value, and honor one another for God's glory.
Focusing primarily on Aristotle's Physics Alpha, an attempt is made
to establish the structure and significance of the Aristotelian
analogy. Traditionally, the concept of analogy in Aristotle has
been treated along two lines of interpretation. In this book, these
are referred to as the mathematical interpretation and the
correlative interpretation. The mathematical approach claims that
the Aristotelian analogy only accounts for proportional comparisons
between usually four things. On the other hand, the correlative
interpretation describes the Aristotelian analogy as something that
unites the multiple uses of a single term (the many uses of
"healthy," for example). This book will argue that both of these
interpretations overlook the nature of the Aristotelian analogy.
The structure of analogy can be taken from Aristotle's discussion
of the three principles of natural "becoming" in his Physics Alpha.
In Physics Alpha, Aristotle claims that these three principles are:
1) the being in its addressable form (logos); 2) the course of
becoming of that addressable being (steresis); 3) the substance
that remains the same throughout the change (hypokeimenon).
Although the first principle, logos, accounts for addressability,
the other two do not. The second and third principles are
inseparable from logos but always remain hidden from addressability
(ana-logos). This book will argue that these principles reveal a
structure of analogy that discloses an inherent mobility of logos
which enables it to reflect the intuitive and ever-changing
principles of becoming. As such, the relationship between Logos and
intuition (nous) can be reimagined.
