The Science of Philosophy

The Science of Philosophy

Originally published in 1981 this book was an attempt to bridge the gap between scientists and philosophers by viewing philosophy at least in part through scientific eyes. Professor George is not here concerned with the philosophy of science. Rather he is looking at classical philosophical issues from the behavioural or scientific viewpoint. Thus from the perspective of science he attempts to establish an understanding of philosophy. The author intended it primarily for behavioural scientists systems theorists and cyberneticians of the time who should have been closely bound up with the philosophical-scientific relationship. | The Science of Philosophy

Group Processes

Group Processes

It is impossible to understand human behavior without understanding the critical role that groups play in people’s lives. Most of us belong to a range of formal and informal groups including families work teams and friendship cliques. These groups absorb a great deal of our time and energy and are instrumental in satisfying our most fundamental needs. In addition they connect us to larger social aggregates (e. g. political parties business organizations religious denominations) that influence our lives in important ways. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of classic and contemporary issues in the field of group processes. Chapters are written by internationally known experts who have made major theoretical and empirical contributions to the study of groups. The broad and up-to-date coverage of the book makes it an essential resource for advanced undergraduates graduate students researchers and practitioners. The volume will be of interest to scholars in various disciplines including social and organizational psychology sociology communication economics and political science.

Mild Cognitive Impairment International Perspectives

Mild Cognitive Impairment International Perspectives

The Classic Edition of this foundational text includes a new preface from Holly A. Tuokko examining how the field of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) has developed since first publication. Bringing together research from multiple studies and perspectives from various countries the volume identifies MCI as an important clinical transition between normal aging and the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The up-to-date preface highlights the expansion in research examining the benefits of various pharmacological cognitive and behavioral approaches to intervention. Influenced by recent findings in neuroplasticity across the lifespan the book recognizes the importance of intervention at the earliest stages of the decline trajectory. It revisits the contested diagnostic approaches for MCI as well as the varying prevalence of MCI internationally yet points to the need for further longitudinal studies to fully understand the condition. Mild Cognitive Impairment continues to provide a comprehensive resource for clinicians researchers and students involved in the study diagnosis treatment and rehabilitation of people with MCI. | Mild Cognitive Impairment International Perspectives

Errorless Learning and Rehabilitation of Language and Memory Impairments

Errorless Learning and Rehabilitation of Language and Memory Impairments

This special issue of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation brings together seven newly published studies from a range of invited international researchers in the fields of language and memory disorders and their rehabilitation. The studies address a range of current themes within these fields. Critical consideration is made of the concept of errorless learning in light of the current learning literature by Middleton & Schwartz. Identification of a locus to an errorless learning advantage in non-clinical participants is provided by Anderson and colleagues. Evaluations of errorless learning applied to a range of clinical presentations are provided including semantic dementia (Jokel & colleagues) anomia in Alzheimer’s disease (Noonan & colleagues) aphasia (Raymer & colleagues; Conroy & Scowcroft) and apraxia of speech (Whiteside & colleagues). The breadth and depth of these studies offers an up-to-date and comprehensive account of research developments in errorless learning and rehabilitation of language and memory impairments. They delineate some of the current critical theoretical-clinical issues through which we might optimise learning and rehabilitative efforts more fully. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Neuropsychological Rehabilitation.
