This book celebrates one of the lights of the field of child language, Melissa Bowerman, with contributions from leading experts who have been directly influenced by her work. It provides the most up-to-date statement of key positions and theorizing regarding fundamental questions in the field of child language development.

A comprehensive overview of the current state of research on memory and mind, this book captures the career and influence of Gordon H. Bower (as told by 22 of his students and colleagues), showing how Bower''s research and mentoring of students has broadly and deeply affected modern research. In addition to many personal reminisces about Bower''s research and graduate training in the 1950s through 1990s, this book illustrates how Bower''s early research and ideas lay the groundwork for much of modern psychological studies of memory, expertise, psychological assessment, and mental imagery.

Reviewing the state-of-the-art research in the field of imagery, visuo-spatial memory, spatial representation and language, with special emphasis on their interactions, the volume addresses the issues in depth, presenting new evidence through contributions from both behavioural and neuroimaging studies.

The work of Richard M. Shiffrin has highly impacted the field of cognitive science, and current developments within perception and memory have been influenced by his ideas. Although many theories and models have been presented in recent years for various aspects of human cognition, there have not been many comparative evaluations that focus on how these models have really advanced our understanding of the underlying mechanisms. This volume will be a valuable source of information for both cognitive scientists working in the field, and researchers and students looking for a clear, accessible presentation of the key problems in cognitive science.

This volume is devoted to the development of understanding in the field of social psychology over the last four decades, covering both basic and applied social psychology.

In the 22 chapters in this volume, many of the world's foremost memory scientists report on their cutting-edge research on the nature of human memory, with several chapters reporting new empirical studies that are being published for the first time. All the contributions are inspired by the work of Larry Jacoby on human memory, with his emphasis on episodic memory -- that is, the processes and mechanisms that enable us to remember our own past experiences. In addition, the volume reflects Jacoby's appreciation that memory enters into a wide range of psychological phenomena, including perceiving, attending, and performing. The stellar list of contributors and the breadth of coverage makes this volume essential reading for researchers and graduate students in cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience, as well as being a tribute and celebration of the inspirational, groundbreaking -- and ongoing -- work of Larry Jacoby.

In this volume, many of the world's foremost memory scientists present their cutting-edge research into the nature of human memory. Major themes include the foundations of memory theory; the contribution of different processes to memory performance; the latest findings on cognitive control; developmental perspectives with a special emphasis on aging; and the clinical, social, and forensic applications of memory research. This fresh and wide-ranging overview of the field provides an important resource for researchers and advanced students in cognitive psychology and neuroscience.

This book presents a collection of essays written by top memory scholars in honor of Henry L. Roediger III. The chapters contained in this volume help establish the foundations of remembering - circa the first decade of the 21st century - as perceived by leading memory researchers.

For more than 30 years, renowned psychological scientist Elizabeth F. Loftus has contributed groundbreaking research to the fields of science, law, and academia. Do Justice and Let the Sky Fall celebrates her life and accomplishments. It is intend

Giving an overview of the state of research on memory and mind, this book captures the career and influence of Gordon H Bower, showing how Bower's research and mentoring of students has affected modern research. It also illustrates how Bower's early research and ideas lay the groundwork for much of modern psychological studies of memory.

Covers the research in the field of crosslinguistic approaches to the psychology of language. This title includes chapters that cover a range of topics that represent the many research interests of a pioneer, Dan Isaac Slobin, who has been a major intellectual and creative force in the field of child language development and psycholinguistics.

Celebrates the life and accomplishments of renowned psychological scientist Elizabeth F Loftus, who has contributed groundbreaking research to the fields of science, law, and academia. This book also collects research in theoretical and applied areas of human memory and presents an introduction to the costs of doing controversial research.

In this volume, leading international cognitive psychologists elucidate and engage with the invaluable contribution of Paolo Legrenzi to the field of thinking and reasoning.

Social psychology attempts to understand, explain, predict and, when needed, change people's thoughts, feelings and behaviours. This volume is devoted to the development of understanding in the field of social psychology, focusing on both basic and applied social psychology.

Presents a collection of essays in honor of Henry L Roediger III. This book contains chapters that help to establish the foundations of remembering, circa the first decade of the 21st century, as perceived by some of the leading memory researchers in the world.

The work of Richard M. Shiffrin has highly impacted the field of cognitive science, and current developments within perception and memory have been influenced by his ideas. In this volume, several key figures in the field will comment on these developments and put them in a wider perspective. Although many theories and models have been presented in recent years for various aspects of human cognition, there have not been many comparative evaluations that focus on how these models have really advanced our understanding of the underlying mechanisms. This volume will be a valuable source of information for both cognitive scientists working in the field, and researchers and students looking for a clear, accessible presentation of the key problems in cognitive science. Highlighted sections include attention and perception, memory functions and processes, knowledge representation and semantics, modelling approaches and applications.

In this volume, leading international cognitive psychologists elucidate and engage with the invaluable contribution of Paolo Legrenzi to the field of thinking and reasoning.

Surveys developments and trends in intergroup research. This book focuses on the question what motivates intergroup behaviour, and on how the motivation of intergroup behavior functions. It also focuses on the role of emotion and motivation in the development of intergroup conflict, social exclusion, tolerance and other group related phenomena.

Inspired by the pioneering work of Dan Slobin, this volume discusses language learning from a crosslinguistic perspective, integrates language specific factors in narrative skill, covers the major theoretical issues, and explores the relationship between language and cognition.

This book brings together some of the best known experts in their fields to offer a cross-disciplinary summary of current research on human memory and pays tribute to the work of Lars-Goeran Nilsson and his many contributions to the psychology of human memory.

Contains contributions from leaders in the field of child language in honor of one of the preeminent scholars in the field of child language acquisition, Melissa Bowerman. This book explores fundamental questions in the field. It is suitable for researchers in child language and development, linguistics, psychology, and education.
