How does behaviour develop in humans and animals? What are the
causal mechanisms governing this behaviour? These important
questions are addressed in this book, first published in 1994. All
the significant conceptual and empirical advances in this study of
behavioural development are discussed in this volume by a wide
range of scientists from different disciplines. A special feature
of the approach taken here is that learning, as studied by
experimental psychologists, is considered to be one process
contributing to the development of the individual from conception
to death. The development of the brain is also discussed in
relation to behavioural processes. The book is dedicated to Jaap
Kruijit, whose pioneering approach to the study of causal
mechanisms of behavioural development has inspired many workers in
this field. It will be an invaluable resource for advanced
undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers in animal
behaviour, psychology, and neuroscience.
Cognitive neuroscience has been the most productive, and arguably the most exciting area of growth in psychology and neuroscience over recent years, with remarkable insights into the brain mechanisms of cognitive abilities being gained from studies of both animals and humans. Johan Bolhuis has brought together a stellar list of contributors, including, amongst others, Patrick Bateson, Lawrence Weiskrantz, Robert Hinde, Eric Kandel, Mark Johnson, and James McGaugh to provide a truly authoritative and comprehensive overview of our current knowledge of the essential neural mechanisms of perception, learning, and memory. Written to be accessible to advanced undergraduates, and postgraduates, the book describes the latest advances in the most important fields of cognitive neuroscience. Brain, Perception, Memory will be an invaluable reference work and textbook for advanced students and researchers in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and animal behaviour.
