This book gives more plausible explanations of why people behave the way that they do, and particularly why they are frequently dysfunctional, than any other I can think of." (Albert Ellis, Albert Ellis Institute, New York) "[An] exciting and innovative book. It indicates that a behavioural account can shed light on many more of the complexities of language and cognition than had previously been supposed... it is abundantly clear from this book that the behavioural approach is alive and kicking, and full of vitality." (W. Eysenck, Royal Holloway University of London) "This is a truly remarkable book... If Chomsky had seen this work 40 years ago, the history of psychology could have been very different." (Paul M. Smeets, Leiden University, The Netherlands) "The book is certainly a tour de force and clearly merits a much wider readership among those interested in empirical and theoretical issues in language and cognition."

Random House USA Inc Incognito
Book SynopsisIf the conscious mind--the part you consider to be you--is just the tip of the iceberg, what is the rest doing? In this sparkling and provocative book, renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman navigates the depths of the subconscious brain to illuminate its surprising mysteries. Why can your foot move halfway to the brake pedal before you become consciously aware of danger ahead? Is there a true Mel Gibson? How is your brain like a conflicted democracy engaged in civil war? What do Odysseus and the subprime mortgage meltdown have in common? Why are people whose names begin with J more like to marry other people whose names begin with J? And why is it so difficult to keep a secret? Taking in brain damage, plane spotting, dating, drugs, beauty, infidelity, synesthesia, criminal law, artificial intelligence, and visual illusions, Incognito is a thrilling subsurface exploration of the mind and all its contradictions.

Random House USA Inc The Invisible Gorilla
Book SynopsisReading this book will make you less sure of yourself—and that’s a good thing. In The Invisible Gorilla, Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, creators of one of psychology’s most famous experiments, use remarkable stories and counterintuitive scientific findings to demonstrate an important truth: Our minds don’t work the way we think they do. We think we see ourselves and the world as they really are, but we’re actually missing a whole lot. Chabris and Simons combine the work of other researchers with their own findings on attention, perception, memory, and reasoning to reveal how faulty intuitions often get us into trouble. In the process, they explain: • Why a company would spend billions to launch a product that its own analysts know will fail• How a police officer could run right past a brutal assault without seeing it• Why award-winning movies are full of editing mistakes&bull

Little, Brown & Company Blink
Book SynopsisFrom the #1 bestselling author of The Bomber Mafia, the landmark book that has revolutionized the way we understand leadership and decision making. In his breakthrough bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant--in the blink of an eye--that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work--in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? In Blink we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last, based on a few minutes of observing a couple; the tennis coach who knows when a player will double-fault before the racket even makes contact with the ball; the antiquities experts who recognize a fake at a glance. Here, too, are great failures of 'blink': the election of Warren Harding; 'New Coke'; and the shooting of Amadou Diallo by police. Blink reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of 'thin-slicing'--filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.

Random House USA Inc The Power of Intuition
Book SynopsisAt times in our careers, we've all been aware of a 'gut feeling' guiding our decisions. Too often, we dismiss these feelings as 'hunches' and therefore untrustworthy. But renowned researcher Gary Klein reveals that, in fact, 90 percent of the critical decisions we make is based on our intuition. In his new book, THE POWER OF INTUITION, Klein shows that intuition, far from being an innate 'sixth sense,' is a learnable--and essential--skill.Based on interviews with senior executives who make important judgments swiftly, as well as firefighters, emergency medical staff, soldiers, and others who often face decisions with immediate life-and-death implications, Klein demonstrates that the expertise to recognize patterns and other cues that enable us--intuitively--to make the right decisions--is a natural extension of experience.Through a three-tiered process called the 'Exceleration Program,' Klein provides readers with the tools they need to build the intuitive skills

Penguin Putnam Inc Wired to Create Unraveling the Mysteries of the
Book SynopsisIs it possible to make sense of something as elusive as creativity? Based on psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman’s groundbreaking research and Carolyn Gregoire’s popular article in the Huffington Post, Wired to Create offers a glimpse inside the “messy minds” of highly creative people. Revealing the latest findings in neuroscience and psychology, along with engaging examples of artists and innovators throughout history, the book shines a light on the practices and habits of mind that promote creative thinking. Kaufman and Gregoire untangle a series of paradoxes— like mindfulness and daydreaming, seriousness and play, openness and sensitivity, and solitude and collaboration – to show that it is by embracing our own contradictions that we are able to tap into our deepest creativity. Each chapter explores one of the ten attributes and habits of highly creative people: Imaginative Play * Passion * Daydreaming * Solitude * Int

Taylor & Francis Ltd Types of Thinking Psychology Focus S
Book SynopsisTypes of Thinking provides a basic grounding in the psychology of thinking for undergraduate students with little previous knowledge of cognitive psychology. This clear, well-structured overview explores the practical aspects and applications of everyday thinking, creative thinking, logical and scientific thinking, intelligent thinking and machine thinking. It also explores ''failures of thinking'', the biases and shortcuts that sometimes lead our thinking astray.The author tackles big ideas in an accessible manner and in an entertaining style, ensuring that Types of Thinking will be attractive not only to students but also to teachers organising and planning courses, as well as the lay reader.Trade Review'The book succeeds well in being entertaining and perhaps stimulating an appetite for further reading. In this regard, it is well referenced, and has a good glossary of considerable benefit to the student reader.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Singlecase and Smalln Experimental Designs A
Book SynopsisThis practical guide explains the use of randomization tests and provides example designs and macros for implementation in IBM SPSS and Excel. It reviews the theory and practice of single-case and small-n designs so readers can draw valid causal inferences from small-scale clinical studies. The macros and example data are provided on the bookâs website so that users can run analyses of the text data as well as data from their own studies.The new edition features: More explanation as to why randomization tests are useful and how to apply them. More varied and expanded examples that demonstrate the use of these tests in education, clinical work and psychology. A website with the macros and datasets for all of the text examples in IBM SPSS and Excel. Exercises at the end of most chapters that help readers test their understanding of the material. A new glossary that defines the key words that appear in italics when they are first introduced. A new appendix that reviews the basic skills needed to do randomization tests. New appendices that provide annotated SPSS and Excel macros to help readers write their own or tinker with the ones provided in the book. The book opens with an overview of single case and small n designs -- why they are needed and how they differ from descriptive case studies. Chapter 2 focuses on the basic concepts of randoization tests. Next how to choose and implement a randomization design is reviewed including material on how to perform the randomizations, how to select the number of observations, and how to record the data. Chapter 5 focuses on how to analyze the data including how to use the macros and understand the results. Chapter 6 shows how randomization tests fit into the body of statistical inference. Chapter 7 discusses size and power. The book concludes with a demonstration of how to edit or modify the macros or use parts of them to write your own.Ideal as a text for courses on single-case, small n design, and/or randomization tests taught at the graduate level in psychology (especially clinical, counseling, educational, and school), education, human development, nursing, and other social and health sciences, this inexpensive book also serves as a supplement in statistics or research methods courses. Practitioners and researchers with an applied clinical focus also appreciate this bookâs accessible approach. An introduction to basic statistics, SPSS, and Excel is assumed.Trade Review"The presentation is good, and the authors give a practical resource for those who must work with the specific designs in the text."—Technometrics"This new edition provides an excellent treatment of both the design and the analysis of single-case and small-n designs. It emphasizes the importance of matching the design to the analysis, and uses the many strengths of randomization tests to overcome problems with standard parametric procedures applied to small-sample studies." - David C. Howell, University of Vermont, USA"This book provides statistical methods appropriate for small n studies--studies that may be messy, exploratory, and fail many of the assumptions of classical methods. A must-read for researchers conducting field research in educational and training environments." - Gregory K.W.K. Chung, UCLA/CRESST, USA"Although we have known for many years that single case experimental designs are essential for the evaluation of an individual’s response to treatment, most of us do not employ randomization strategies when planning this treatment. We need to change and this book will enable us to do just that. I urge all clinical and neuro psychologists interested in treating patients to purchase this book." - Barbara A Wilson, Oliver Zangwill Centre, Ely, UK"I’m very excited about this book. ...

This text will align well with NIH’s and NIMH’s move towards translational research and focus on evidenced-based treatment validity. ...The authors have an incredibly clear, thoughtful writing style. ... This text will "bridge the gap" between required course content and the reality that students will face in the field. ... I plan to buy it, use it in my class, and tell everyone I can about it." - Marie S. Hammond, Tennessee State University, USA"The text ... fills a gap in the scholarly literature desperately needed in the behavior analytic scientific community. ... [There] are no directly competing texts that go into such depth … for single-subject research designs as they are used specifically within clinical psychology and behavior analysis. ...

Penguin Publishing Group The Secret Power of Middle Children
Book SynopsisMiddle children are underachievers, overshadowed and overlooked, right? Wrong. Combining research in evolutionary biology, psychology and sociology with real-life stories, psychologist Catherine Salmon, Ph.D., and journalist Katrin Schumann reveal what it really means to grow up in between, including how:• Middles receive less financial and emotional support from their parents, but become remarkably successful and innovative adults • Middles can be stubbornly independent as teens, but are extraordinary team players later in life • Middles are often seen as outcasts, but are actually far less likely to get divorced or be in therapy than their siblings. With surprising insights into how our birth order affects us, as well as constructive advice on how to maximize advantages and overcome drawbacks, The Secret Power of Middle Children shows middleborns at any age (and their parents) how to use what seems to be a disadvantage aTrade Review“Powerful advice … anchored in hard science and illuminated by vivid case examples.”—David M.
