The Cambridge Dictionary of Psychology

David Matsumoto, "The Cambridge Dictionary of Psychology"
Cambridge University Press | 2009 | ISBN: 0521671000, 0521854709 | 608 pages | PDF | 5,6 MB

The Cambridge Dictionary of Psychology is the first and only dictionary that surveys the broad discipline of psychology from an international, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary focus. This focus was achieved in several ways. The managing and consulting editor boards were comprised of world-renowned scholars in psychology from many different countries, not just the United States. They reviewed and edited all of the keyword entries to make them lively and applicable across cultural contexts, incorporating the latest knowledge in contemporary international psychology. Thus entries related to culture, as well as those from all domains of psychology, are written with the broadest possible audience in mind. Also, many keywords central to contemporary psychology were incorporated that are not included in many competitors, including the Oxford and APA dictionaries.

Current Issues in Applied Memory Research

Graham M. Davies, Daniel B. Wright, "Current Issues in Applied Memory Research"
Psychology Press | 2010 | ISBN: 1841697273 | 280 pages | PDF | 2,3 MB

Research on applied memory i
s one of the most active, interesting and vibrant areas in experimental psychology today. This book provides descriptions of cutting-edge research and applies them to three key areas of contemporary investigation: education, the law and neuroscience.

In the area of education, findings from the study of memory are described which could have a major impact on testing practice, revision techniques for examinations and teaching basic literacy and numeracy. In applications to the law, recent findings shed new light on the dynamics of child abuse investigations, the status of traumatic memories recovered after long delays and a further challenge for the eyewitness: change blindness. Finally, in neuroscience, contributions cover the frightening question of whether patients can remember incidents during surgical operations under anaesthetic, the unexpected impact of handedness and rapid eye movements on memory proficiency and the status of déjà vu: mystical experience or memory error?

These accounts of recent research on applied memory have been written by leading experts in the field from both Europe and America, with the non-specialist in mind. They will interest students who wish to extend their reading beyond core material in cognitive psychology, graduates on more specialised courses in education, forensics and neuropsychology, and all those who wish to enrich their knowledge of the contemporary frontiers of applied memory research.

The Psychology of Perspective and Renaissance Art

The Psychology of Perspective and Renaissance Art
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521368499 | edition 1988 | PDF | 208 pages | 10 mb

Michael Kubovy, an experimental psychologist, recounts the lively history of the invention of perspective in the fifteenth century, and shows how, as soon as the invention spread, it was used to achieve subtle and fascinating aesthetic effects. A clear presentation of the fundamental concepts of perspective and the reasons for its effectiveness, drawing on the latest laboratory research on how people perceive, leads into the development of a new theory to explain why Renaissance artists such as Leonardo and Mantegna used perspective in unorthodox ways which have puzzled art scholars. This theory illuminates the author's broader consideration of the evolution of art: the book proposes a resolution of the debate between those who believe that the invention/discovery of perspective is a stage in the steady progress of art and those who believe that perspective is merely a conventional and arbitrary system for the representation of space.

Kathtyn Kelley - Issues, Theory, and Research in Industrial / Organizational Psychology
Publisher: Elsevier BV | 1992-03-01 | ISBN: 0444887776 | PDF | 478 pages | 56.37 MB

Industrial/Organizational psychologists are a rather diverse group of people with a common interest in applying psychology to work settings. This is the conclusion reached by George Alliger in the opening chapter of this volume, setting the tone for the rest of the book, which attempts to expand our view of what can be considered as I/O psychology.
The authors of the individual chapters are from a variety of backgrounds, not all of them directly associated with I/O psychology, and they discuss topics such as managerial success and training, as well as topics much more on the edge of I/O such as team-building and organizational theory. Thus, this volume makes an important statement about the potential diversity of our field. At the same time, it will help move us towards that diversity by providing insights and information in areas that should be, and are becoming part of the realm of I/O psychology. These insights into non-traditional topics.

Teaching for Thinking (Psychology in the Classroom)

Teaching for Thinking (Psychology in the Classroom)
Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA) | ISBN: 1557983755 | edition 1996 | PDF | 163 pages | 6,75 mb

What constitutes "good thinking"? How do analytical, practical, and creative thinkers differ? Which teaching strategies promote thinking to learn as well as learning to think? Can asking the right kinds of questions enhance student thinking? In what ways do tests squelch creative and insightful problem solving? Why do some good thinkers fail? How can teachers prepare for the challenges of teaching for thinking? The authors consider these issues and others as they explore the thinking classroom. Richly illustrated with lively classroom vignettes and inventive teaching activities, this volume is undergirded with an empirically validated and classroom-tested psychological theory that lays out the three ways of thinking and the cognitive processes that underlie them. This is the seventh book in the Division 15 series "Psychology in the Classroom," which is aimed at elementary, middle, and high school teachers. The goal of this series is to encourage teachers to base their daily classroom practices on sound principles derived form the latest educational psychology research. The series thus bridges the gap between theory and practice. Each book is written in an accessible, straightforward style and contains a wide range of user-friendly features, such as real-life case illustrations, sample classroom activities, self-study questions, and suggested readings.

Arthur G. Miller - The Social Psychology of Good and Evil
The Guilford Press | 2004 | ISBN: 157230989X | Pages: 498 | PDF | 1.55 MB

This compelling work brings together an array of distinguished scholars to explore key concepts, theories, and findings pertaining to some of the most fundamental issues in social life: the conditions under which people are kind and helpful to others or, conversely, under which they commit harmful, even murderous acts. Covered are such topics as the complex interaction of individual, societal, and situational factors underpinning good or evil behavior; the role of guilt and the self-concept; and issues of responsibility and motivation, including why good people do bad things. The volume also examines whether aggression and violence are inescapable aspects of human nature, and how cooperative interaction can break down stereotyping and discrimination.

Tamar E. Chansky - Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking

Tamar E. Chansky - Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking:
Powerful, Practical Strategies to Build a Lifetime of Resilience, Flexibility, and Happiness
Da Capo Lifelong Books | 2008 | ISBN: 0738211850 | Pages: 336 | PDF | 1.12 MB

Powerful, practical strategies to build a lifetime of resilience, flexibility, and happiness.

Several years ago Dr. Tamar Chansky, one of the nation’s leading clinical experts on children and anxiety disorders, realized that roughly half of the children she sees in her clinical practice exhibit “negative thinking.” These children see only those things that are wrong with themselves, the world, and the future. Distinct from the type of thinking Dr. Chansky encountered in children with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, children who engage in negative thinking supersize their problems: Nothing ever works for me. There’s no point. I give up. This negativity creates emotional hurdles that often hinder children from achieving success and happiness, both now and in the years to come.

Now in this landmark book, Dr. Chansky thoroughly analyzes the underlying causes of children’s negative attitudes and provides numerous strategies to help parents and their children manage negative thoughts, build optimism, and establish emotional resilience. She shows how to buffer kids from disappointment, failure, and frustration by helping them to think more accurately about their problems—to right-size them.

Freeing your Child from Negative Thinking provides parents, caregivers, and clinicians with the tools they need to relieve a child from the burden of these emotional hurdles and to build the positive, confident mindset that will set them on their way to a bright, happy future.
