Ideal for courses in vision, perception, and cognitive science,
this unique text conveys the excitement and promise of the field of
visual cognition while emphasizing its vital relationship to
cognitive science in general, exploring central philosophical and
psychological issues such as imagination, consciousness, and
perceptions of time. Instructors using The Thinking Eye, the Seeing
Brain will have access to lecture-ready PowerPoint slides of art
from the text, each of them carefully annotated by Professor Enns.
The disciplines of cognitive neuroscience, development, and
psychopathology are complementary in the study of human perception
and attention, even though each discipline emerges from a decidedly
different and sometimes incompatible worldview. The meeting of
researchers across these disciplines results in a fruitful
cross-fertilization that ultimately leads to better science within
each discipline and a joint scientific endeavor that is greater
than the sum of its parts.
Cognitive Neuroscience, Development, and Psychopathology: Typical
and Atypical Developmental Trajectories of Attention unites
scholars sharing common interests in the development of attention
and related areas of functioning with different perspectives and
methodologies. The volume does not impose a single framework for
discussing the relevant issues, but rather the authors highlight
the importance of their own approaches to the study of the typical
and atypical development of attention. Drs. Burack, Enns, and Fox
have organized the chapters into three sections: Atypical
Environments, Threat, and the Development of Individual Differences
in Attention; The Organization of the Development of Attention in
Typical and Atypical Processing; and The Case of Orienting
Attention in Developing an Integrated Science. Discussion topics
include cognitive bias modification, attention and the development
of anxiety disorders, deficient anchoring, reflexive and abnormal
social orienting in autism, and social attention. This volume is a
unique and critical resource for researchers in communication
disorders, developmental and cognitive psychology, human
development, neuroscience, and educational and counseling
psychology.
