Apes, Monkeys, Children, and the Growth of Mind (Paperback, New Ed): Juan-Carlos Gomez Apes, Monkeys, Children, and the Growth of Mind (Paperback, New Ed)
Juan-Carlos Gomez
R754 Discovery Miles 7 540 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

What can the study of young monkeys and apes tell us about the minds of young humans? In this fascinating introduction to the study of primate minds, Juan Carlos Gomez identifies evolutionary resemblances--and differences--between human children and other primates. He argues that primate minds are best understood not as fixed collections of specialized cognitive capacities, but more dynamically, as a range of abilities that can surpass their original adaptations.

In a lively overview of a distinguished body of cognitive developmental research among nonhuman primates, Gomez looks at knowledge of the physical world, causal reasoning (including the chimpanzee-like errors that human children make), and the contentious subjects of ape language, theory of mind, and imitation. Attempts to teach language to chimpanzees, as well as studies of the quality of some primate vocal communication in the wild, make a powerful case that primates have a natural capacity for relatively sophisticated communication, and considerable power to learn when humans teach them.

Gomez concludes that for all cognitive psychology's interest in perception, information-processing, and reasoning, some essential functions of mental life are based on ideas that cannot be explicitly articulated. Nonhuman and human primates alike rely on implicit knowledge. Studying nonhuman primates helps us to understand this perplexing aspect of all primate minds.

Pablo Hern Legna, Juan Carlos Gomez Fulao
R748 Discovery Miles 7 480 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

La creciente complejidad del contexto global en lo referido a lo economico y social, las presiones que sobre las empresas ejercen cada vez mas consumidores, sectores ambientalistas y organizaciones no gubernamentales, y el clamor por una mayor transparencia en la forma de hacer negocios plantean al empresariado nuevos desafios. En los ultimos tiempos, la problematica de la responsabilidad social ha ido ganando un lugar cada vez mas destacado en la agenda de las sociedades modernas y de las propias organizaciones. El escenario economico global del momento actual requiere de instituciones transparentes y con real sentido de la responsabilizacion (accountability) para enfrentar los comportamientos oportunistas del mercado, evitando de esta forma muchas de las consecuencias indeseables que puedan generarse. En el presente libro, se efectua una sintesis del alcance y las limitaciones de estas iniciativas y del enfoque de la responsabilidad social empresaria, planteando alternativas para su operativizacion resignificandola en terminos de responsabilidad ciudadana y planteando modelos para el aumento de la competitividad corporativa."
