Incorporating neuroscience seamlessly into the study of cognitive psychology, this book takes a fresh look at the field, and presents it as it actually is today. By integrating findings about the brain into the usual fare for this topic, it provides the foundation for students to study current research in the field.
Stephen Michael Kosslyn Boeken
Stephen Michael Kosslyn is een cognitief psycholoog die bekend staat om zijn baanbrekend onderzoek en theorieën over mentale verbeelding. Zijn werk stelt dat verbeelding geen enkelvoudig fenomeen is, maar een samenstelling van verschillende functies, elk ondersteund door specifieke neurale netwerken in de hersenen. Kosslyn past bovendien psychologische principes toe op het ontwerp van visuele displays en effectieve communicatie, inclusief de optimalisatie van presentaties. Zijn onderzoek overbrugt op overtuigende wijze de cognitieve neurowetenschappen met een dieper begrip van de menselijke geest.

In this book, Stephen Kosslyn, a renowned cognitive neuroscientist, presents eight simple principles for constructing a presentation that takes advantage of the information modern science has discovered about perception, memory, and cognition. Using hundreds of images and sample slides, he shows the common mistakes many people make and the simple ways to fix them. For example, never use underlining to emphasize a word--the line will cut off the bottom of letters that have descending lines (such as p and g), which interferes with the brain's ability to recognize text. Other tips include why you should state your conclusion at the beginning of a presentation, when to use a line graph versus a bar graph, and how to use color correctly. By following Kosslyn's principles, anyone will be able to produce a presentation that works!

Cognitive neuroscience has evolved into a complex discipline over the past 35 years, necessitating a comprehensive resource to examine its current state. This handbook, divided into two volumes, features 59 chapters that systematically explore various aspects of cognitive neuroscience, including perception, attention, memory, language, emotion, self and social cognition, higher cognitive functions, and clinical applications. Topics range from top-down cognitive processes in visual perception to object representation and spatial relations. It addresses attention's relationship to action and visual motor control, as well as core language abilities such as semantics, speech perception and production, and the distinction between linguistic competence and performance, including written language capacity. Special emphasis is placed on psychopharmacology of cognition, theory of mind, the neuroscience of emotion regulation, and neuropsychological and neuroimaging evidence supporting the unique status of self-knowledge in memory. This handbook serves as a comprehensive resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the dynamic field of cognitive neuroscience.
