Progress in Psychological Science around the World, Volumes 1 and
2, present the main contributions from the 28th International
Congress of Psychology, held in Beijing in 2004. These expert
contributions include the Nobel laureate address, the Presidential
address, and the Keynote and State-of-the-Art lectures. They are
written by international leaders in psychology from 25 countries
and regions around the world. The authors present a variety of
approaches and perspectives that reflect cutting-edge advances in
psychological science. This second volume builds on the coverage of
neural, cognitive, and developmental issues from the first volume,
to address social and applied issues in modern psychology. The
topics covered include: educational psychology and measurement,
health psychology, and social and cultural psychology.
Organizational, applied, and international psychology are also
discussed. Progress in Psychological Science around the World, with
its broad coverage of psychological research and practice, and its
highly select group of world renowned authors, will be invaluable
for researchers, professionals, teachers, and students in the field
of psychology.

Among the scientific advances over the last one hundred years,
those in psychological science rank among the most prolific and
revealing. The analyses of human intelligence and cognition, of
human consciousness and self-awareness, of human memory and
learning, and of human personality structure have opened up new
avenues towards a deeper understanding of the human nature, the
human mind, and its evolution. These new insights, whilst meeting
high standards of research methodology, have also given rise to a
conceptual grid which connects hitherto divergent lines of research
in the human and behavioral sciences, leading up to present-day
neuroscience. The Editors, both past presidents of the
International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS), bring
together a distinguished panel of international experts in the
attempt to unravel, in a comparative cross-cultural and historical
approach, changing contents and functions of psychological key
concepts (such as intelligence, cognition, mind and the self).
Their findings help to guide psychological theorizing,
psychological experimentation and field research, and in so doing
they apply behavioral science insights to the improvement of human
affairs. Prepared under the aegis of the International Union of
Psychological Science, the book exemplifies a concept-driven
international history of psychological science. With its team of
distinguished researchers from four continents, Psychological
Concepts: An International Historical Perspective outlines the
history of psychology in a truly innovative way.
This book brings together both theoretical and empirical research
directed toward the role of strategies in deductive reasoning. It
offers the first systematic attempt to discuss the role of
strategies for deductive reasoning. The empirical chapters
correspond well with the main issues in the study of deduction,
namely propositional reasoning, spatial reasoning, and syllogistic
reasoning. In addition, several chapters present a theoretical
analysis of deduction, related to the concept strategy. The book
also presents data about the role of strategies for statistical and
social reasoning. This book will be of interest to researchers and
students of cognitive psychology. It will also be of value to
people working in Artificial Intelligence, because it highlights
results on how humans use strategies while tackling deductive
puzzles.

The essays appearing in these two volumes are based on Keynote
(Vol. 1) and State-of-the-Art (Vol. 2) Lectures delivered at the
XXVth International Congress of Psychology, in Brussels, July 1992.
The Brussels Congress was the latest in a series of conferences
which are organized at regular intervals under the auspices of the
International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS), the main
international organization in the field of Scientific Psychology.
The first of those meetings took place in Paris in 1889. An
important function of the International Congresses is to promote
communication between different specializations in Psychology.
Speakers were therefore asked to present lectures and discussions
in their own fields of study, in a way that would be accessible to
fellow psychologists active in other fields. State-of-the-Art
lecturers were specifically asked to prepare a tutorial review on a
topic which, in the view of the Program Committee, had recently
given rise to particularly important developments. These
contributions are included in Volume Two. Keynote lecturers were
left free to address whatever subject they felt was of greatest
interest. The chapters in Volume 1 are preceded by the Presidential
Address by Mark R. Rosenzweig.

approaches and perspectives that reflect cutting-edge advances in

cognitive, and developmental issues in contemporary psychology. It
includes chapters on learning, memory, and motivation, cognitive
neuroscience, and attention, emotion, and language, and covers
life-span developmental psychology. Volume 2 goes on to discuss
social and applied issues in modern psychology. Progress in
Psychological Science around the World, with its broad coverage of
psychological research and practice, and its highly select group of

professionals, teachers, and students in the field of psychology.
The Mental Models Theory of Reasoning presents theoretical and
empirical research on an area of growing interest, the status of
mental models in deductive reasoning. As research in the framework
of the mental models theory flourishes, this book answers a need to
assess the contribution of the notion of training and content. It
covers the central issues of propositional, relational, causal and
probabilistic reasoning, and argumentation and development. In
addition, this work presents data regarding strategies,
argumentation, and the development of reasoning. Special features
of this text include: *sharp theoretical analyses as well as
important new empirical data offered by theorists who work in the
framework of the mental models theory; *a critical and empirically
driven account of content effects in conditional and linear
reasoning; and *an original account on the influence of pragmatics
on reasoning. The Mental Models Theory of Reasoning will be of
interest to researchers and advanced students of cognitive
psychology, and will be valuable to individuals working in
Artificial Intelligence, as it highlights theoretical and empirical
data on how humans use mental models when tackling deductive
puzzles.

The papers in this book are the result of the NATO conference
"Cognitive Modelling and Inter active Environments" that was held
in Mierlo, the Netherlands, November 5 - 8, 1990. Within the
framework of the NATO Advanced Research Workshops this invitational
conference was naturally on learning, but it emphasized a number of
factors that are not generally treated in dis cussions on learning
and specifically in computer-assisted learning. It was realized by
the orig inators of the conference that, with respect to
computer-assisted instruction, the stage has not nearly been
reached where it is well known how a successful interactive
instructional environ ment has to be created. This contrasts
strongly with the sheer number of computerized learning programs
that exist already and continue to be produced. Frequently the
motivation to create a computer-assisted learning program is
heavily connected with a scientific discipline. Logically it is the
proper task for instructional science to produce instructional
programs. The high degree of formalization in linguistics allows
one often in a straightforward way, to au tomate learning programs
for language instruction. Artificial intelligence, in its endeavour
to capture basic principles of knowledge representation and
knowledge acquisition, leads naturally to Intelligent Tutoring
Systems. Computer science is the logical breeding ground for
programs that manipulate knowledge for many different students,
that register actions reliably, and that automate parts of
time-intensive teaching tasks. The joint concern of all of these
approaches is the transfer of knowledge.
