    In this book Cornoldi and Vecchi describe a coherent experimental approach to the investigation of visuo-spatial cognition, based upon the analysis of individual differences.

  • av Fenna H. Poletiek
    367 - 627

    How do people search evidence for a hypothesis? A well documented answer in cognitive psychology is that they search for confirming evidence. However, the rational strategy is to try to falsify the hypothesis. This contradiction is evaluated.

    837 - 2 031

    The book presents an overview of the author's research in anaphor interpretation set within the context of the general literature on anaphora from the disciplines of psycholinguistics. philosophy, lingustics, and computational linguistics.

  • av Alan S. (Southern Methodist University Brown
    1 941

    This book brings together the body of empirical findings and theoretical interpretations of the tip of the tongue (TOT) experience ¿ when a well-known or familiar word cannot immediately be recalled. Although research has been published on TOTs for over a century, the experience retains its fascination for both cognitive and linguistic researchers.After a review of various research procedures used to study TOTs, the book offers a summary of attempts to manipulate this rare cognitive experience through cue and prime procedures. Various aspects of the inaccessible target word are frequently available ¿ such as first letter and syllable number ¿ even in the absence of actual retrieval, and the book explores the implications of these bits of target-word information for mechanisms for word storage and retrieval. It also examines: what characteristics of a word make it potentially more vulnerable to a TOT; why words related to the target word (called "interlopers") often come to mind; the recovery process, when the momentarily-inaccessible word is recovered shortly after the TOT is first experienced; and efforts to evaluate individual differences in the likelihood to experience TOTs.

  • av Stephen R. Schmidt
    367 - 627

  • av USA) Lampinen, James Michael (University of Arkansas, USA) Neuschatz, m.fl.
    787 - 1 937

  • av Elizabeth Valentine & John Wilding
    801 - 1 971

    Examines the nature and causal antecedents of superior memory performance. The main theme is that such a performance may depend on either specific memory techniques or natural superiority in the efficiency of one or more processees.

  • av Lynn C. Robertson
    771

    The fact that half of space can disappear while the other half remains intact or that an object can be seen without its location is something that most normal perceivers find astonishing. The belief that space is a unitary platform supporting objects is hard to shake. This text examines this.

  • - Caricatures and Recognition
    av Gillian Rhodes
    367 - 627

    Despite their exaggerated features, caricatures can remain instantly recognizable. The author assembles clues from a variety of sources to discover why, concluding that caricatures are effective for humans, animals and computer recognition systems.

  • - Theoretical and Empirical Issues
    av Dianne C. Berry & Zoltan Dienes
    851 - 1 868

    This book presents an overview of explicit knowledge and measured performance and attempts to clarify them in a coherent theoretical framework.

  • - The Cognitive Perspective
    av Michael W. Eysenck
    837 - 2 697

    The scope of the book extends to the effects of anxiety on performance and to the phenomenon of worry, which is regarded as the cognitive component of anxiety. In both cases, a new theoretical framework is presented.

  • - Mnemonics for the 21st Century
    av James B. Worthen & R. Reed Hunt
    837 - 1 991

    Bridges the gap between basic memory research and mnemonic applications through an analysis of the processes that underlie effective memory aids. This book traces the history of mnemonics, examines popular techniques, and discusses the relevance of mnemonics to both psychological researchers and those seeking to improve their memory.

  • - Perspectives from Memory and Word Recognition
    av Timothy P. McNamara
    827 - 2 031

    Examines empirical and theoretical advancements in the understanding of semantic priming, providing an in-depth review of this phenomenon, framed in terms of models of memory and models of word recognition. It covers models of semantic priming, including spreading activation models, the verification model, compound-cue models, and more.

  • av USA) Kensinger, Boston College & Elizabeth A. (Elizabeth A. Kensinger
    787 - 1 831

    Explores contemporary research on emotion and memory, describing the cognitive and brain processes that support emotional memory in young adults and discussing how those processes change with aging and age-related disease. This book includes a broad overview of emotion, memory, and the neural underpinnings of each.

  • av Susanna (University of Oxford & UK) Millar
    787 - 1 871

    Focuses on touch in order to examine which aspects of vision and touch overlap in spatial processing. This work argues that spatial processing depends on integrating diverse sensory inputs as reference cues for the location, distance or direction response that spatial tasks demand.

  • av Ian Neath & Aimee M. Surprenant
    847 - 1 911

    Proposes 7 principles of human memory that apply to various memories. This volume includes principles which are qualitative statements of empirical regularities that can serve as intermediary explanations and which follow from viewing memory as a function. It is intended for people (from undergraduates to researchers) in the field of memory.

  • - False Memory Research in DRM and Related Tasks
    av David (University of Chicago & USA) Gallo
    801 - 2 047

    Highlights the malleability of memory, as well as the strategies and situations that can help us avoid false memories. This book argues that these basic memory illusions contribute to a deeper understanding of how human memory works.
