Kognitiv psykologi

This book focuses on research-based teaching and learning practices that promote social justice and equity in higher education. The fourth volume in a four-volume series, this book critically addresses virtual and remote classroom settings. Chapters explore contexts within and outside the classroom, including a history of online learning; research on student engagement and perceptions; specific, actionable pedagogical or curriculum recommendations; and the application of traditional learning theories in virtual settings. The volume also explores how online education, through a technopositivist lens, promotes and reinforces sexist, racist, and gendered behaviors, as well as the role of the "e;student as consumer,"e; troubling education in virtual settings in a way that allows for deeper discussion about how to make virtual education emancipatory and empowering.  

Foundations of the Mind, Brain, and Behavioral Relationships: Understanding Physiological Psychology is an engaging introduction into neuroscience, and the portions of the nervous system, perception, and the clinical considerations in physiological psychology. "Clinical Applications" appear throughout the chapters and provide real-world examples of brain-behavior relationships, and how the nervous system interacts with other body systems to create a specific behavior. Creating an interactive experience for learners, this volume connects the study of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology with clinically relevant topics, ranging from stress and eating disorders to substance abuse, major affective disorders, and schizophrenia. Integrating the foundations of neuroscience with disorders encountered in clinical practice serves as a foundation to better understand the clinical bases of these conditions. Coauthored by clinical neuropsychologists, this book is for those interested in learning about the underpinnings of the mind, brain, and human behaviors in normal and divergent functioning.

Communicative competence is an essential language skill, the ability to adjust language use according to specific contexts and to employ knowledge and strategies for successful communication.

This book celebrates the pioneering work and contributions of Helen J. Neville, who conducted seminal neuroimaging work using EEG and fMRI to illustrate the role that experience plays in shaping the brain.

This book celebrates the pioneering work and contributions of Helen J. Neville, who conducted seminal neuroimaging work using electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaginf (fMRI) to illustrate the role that experience plays in shaping the brain.Bringing together her former students, collaborators, and colleagues, the book presents essays and original empirical research that pay tribute to Helen Neville's groundbreaking work. The chapters discuss her contributions to our knowledge of neuroplasticity in perception, attention, and language, and how they inspired more recent developments in these and related areas, such as work on deafness (changes in sign language processing with age and the effects of cochlear implants on language development), the early stages of reading, memory consolidation during sleep, and the connection between attentional and memory systems. The book also discusses her strong commitment to rigorous science that could be translated into real-world practice through social interventions to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes. It additionally includes short poems by Marta Kutas interspersed between chapters that are inspired by Helen's work and highlight her contributions, values, and ideas.The book showcases Helen Neville's legacy to the field of neuroscience and is a must-read for all students and researchers of neuroplasticity and developmental cognitive neuroscience.

Hvordan kan man forstå, analysere og arbejde med læring i arbejdslivet?Når læring går på arbejde tager udgangspunkt i Jean Lave og Etienne Wengers teori om, at læring finder sted gennem deltagelse i praksisfællesskaber. I bogen videreudvikles teorien med inspiration fra den amerikanske pragmatisme, hovedsageligt som John Dewey beskrev den. Pragmatisme er en filosofisk retning, hvor viden tager afsæt i kropslig og emotionel erfaring, der udvikles i en gensidig relation mellem handling og tænkning.John Deweys forskning og liv var på mange måder flettet sammen med udviklingen af pragmatismen, som var forankret i sin tids videnskabelige landvindinger, evolutionslæren og den eksperimentelle psykologi, og bogen beskriver levende denne udvikling. Bogen rummer eksempler på analyser af læring i arbejdslivet samt præsenterer en model, som både indtænker arbejdets praksis, dets organisering og muligheden for at engagere sig og hele tiden lære.Når læring går på arbejde, som udkom første gang i 2005, og har i denne 2. udgave været igennem en omfattende gennemskrivning og er på mange måder en helt ny bog.

"e;If a child falls victim to a crime, or becomes witness to it, they may well be questioned by the police. Perhaps even tasked with selecting a suspect from a line-up. But how reliable can a child be under such strenuous circumstances?In this book, Dr. Ben Cotterill explores practices and influences that can increase or decrease the accuracy of children's testimonies. Memory mechanisms and general developmental factors behind the capability of child witnesses are outlined, demonstrating their ability to describe or identify. Factors that affect jurors' perception of said children are also looked into in detail.There have been many instances in which poor interviewing practices with children led to false imprisonments. Said occurrences demonstrate how both situational factors and individual differences can potentially compromise children's eyewitness performance. Based upon what we now understand, can recommendations be made, so that, in a court of law, innocence is the key to achieving justice?
