Developmental Social Cognitive Neuroscience

74,19€ + 10% CARD

 This volume in the JPS Series is intended to help crystallize the emergence of a new field, "Developmental Social Cognitive Neuroscience," aimed at elucidating the neural correlates of the development of socio-emotional experience and behavior. No one any longer doubts that infants are born with a biologically based head start in accomplishing their important life tasks--genetic resources, if you will, that are exploited differently in different contexts. Nevertheless, it is also true that socially relevant neural functions develop slowly during childhood and that this development is owed to complex interactions among genes, social and cultural environments, and children’s own behavior. A key challenge lies in finding appropriate ways of describing these complex interactions and the way in which they unfold in real developmental time. This is the challenge that motivates research in developmental social cognitive neuroscience.The chapters in this book highlight the latest and best research in this emerging field, and they cover a range of topics, including the typical and atypical development of imitation, impulsivity, novelty seeking, risk taking, self and social awareness, emotion regulation, moral reasoning, and executive function. Also addressed are the potential limitations of a neuroscientific approach to the development of social cognition.Intended for researchers and advanced students in neuroscience and developmental, cognitive, and social psychology, this book is appropriate for graduate seminars and upper-level undergraduate courses on social cognitive neuroscience, developmental neuroscience, social development, and cognitive development.

Values And Knowledge

74,19€ + 10% CARD

 It is widely recognized that a person''s values will profoundly affect what that person attends to, thinks about, and remembers. Yet, despite this, psychologists have only begun to study and think about the deep connections between values and knowledge.This volume explores this important area in psychology by offering an overview of what is known about the developmental role of valuation in the acquisition of knowledge, and also by examining a range of new ideas for understanding the intricate connection between evaluation and thinking. More specifically, the text:<ul> <li>provides a historical overview of philosophical and psychological theories relating the values and knowledge;</li> <li>reviews the importance of values for infants and their caretakers in the origins of both cognition and social relations;</li> <li>offers a provocative view of how the differences among families in their values may have profound affects on psychological development;</li> <li>explicates the development of a personal sphere within which one strives to shape one''s own values;</li> <li>emphasizes the heterogeneity of valuation inherent in every culture and how conflicts of values are likely to be common and important to human development;</li> <li>presents eye-opening research on social-cognitive limitations of average people in respecting the points of view of others; and</li> <li>summarizes and critiques Piaget''s theory of the role of values in development.</li> </ul>For practitioners in the fields of developmental and social psychology, and education, this volume will introduce a number of important and current issues, from multiculturality and gender to the differential roles of temperament and upbringing in development. The emphasis is placed squarely on developing individuals and how they shape themselves in a world that is structured by values as well as by facts.

Epigenesis Of Mind - Essays On Biology And Cognition

83,46€ + 10% CARD

 Reflecting the focus of a Jean Piaget Symposium entitled Biology and Knowledge: Structural Constraints on Development, this volume presents many of the emergent themes discussed.Among these themes are:<UL><LI>Structural constraints on cognitive development and learning come in many shapes and forms and involve appeal to more than one level of analysis.</LI><LI>To postulate innate knowledge is not to deny that humans can acquire new concepts.</LI><LI>It is unlikely that there is only one learning mechanism, even if one prefers to work with general as opposed to domain-specific mechanisms.</LI><LI>The problems of induction with respect to concept acquisition are even harder than originally thought.</LI></UL>
