Approaches to Cognition - Contrasts and Controversies (Hardcover): Terry J. Knapp, Lynn C. Robertson Approaches to Cognition - Contrasts and Controversies (Hardcover)
Terry J. Knapp, Lynn C. Robertson
R4,796 Discovery Miles 47 960 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

To the vast majority of academic psychologists in the 1980s, the study of cognition referred to that area of psychology known as 'cognitive psychology'. The major basis of this area had been the computer metaphor with its accompanying notion of the individual as an information-processing system. Yet within the field the study of cognition is much broader and has a history that reaches into antiquity, whereas 'cognitive psychology' as information-processing psychology had only recently become the standard bearer of cognitive studies. One of the purposes of this volume, originally published in 1986, was to articulate some of the fundamental distinctions between and concordances among different orientations concerning the study of cognition. The collection includes chapters on information processing, ecological, Gestalt, physiological, and operant psychology.

Space, Objects, Minds and Brains (Paperback): Lynn C. Robertson Space, Objects, Minds and Brains (Paperback)
Lynn C. Robertson
R1,201 Discovery Miles 12 010 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Lynn Robertson has been studying how brain lesions affect spatial abilities for over 20 years, and her work has revealed some surprising facts about space and its role in visual perception. In this book she combines evidence collected in her laboratory with findings from others to explore the cognitive and neural basis of spatial representations and their contributions to spatial awareness, object formation, attention, and binding.

Synesthesia - Perspectives from Cognitive Neuroscience (Hardcover, New): Lynn C. Robertson, Noam Sagiv Synesthesia - Perspectives from Cognitive Neuroscience (Hardcover, New)
Lynn C. Robertson, Noam Sagiv
R2,531 Discovery Miles 25 310 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Owing to its bizarre nature and its implications for understanding how brains work, synesthesia has recently received a lot of attention in the popular press and motivated a great deal of research and discussion among scientists. The questions generated by these two communities are intriguing: Does the synesthetic phenomenon require awareness and attention? How does a feature that is not present become bound to one that is? Does synesthesia develop or is it hard wired? Should it change our way of thinking about perceptual experience in general? What is its value in understanding perceptual systems as a whole?
This volume brings together a distinguished group of investigators from diverse backgrounds--among them neuroscientists, novelists, and synesthetes themselves--who provide fascinating answers to these questions. Although each approaches synesthesia from a very different perspective, and each was curious about and investigated synesthesia for very different reasons, the similarities between their work cannot be ignored. The research presented in this volume demonstrates that it is no longer reasonable to ask whether or not synesthesia is real--we must now ask how we can account for it from cognitive, neurobiological, developmental, and evolutionary perspectives. This book will be important reading for any scientist interested in brain and mind, not to mention synesthetes themselves, and others who might be wondering what all the fuss is about.
