Executive Functions What They Are How They Work and Why They Evolved

Executive Functions What They Are How They Work and Why They Evolved

This groundbreaking book offers a comprehensive theory of executive functioning (EF) with important clinical implications. Synthesizing cutting-edge neuropsychological and evolutionary research Russell A. Barkley presents a model of EF that is rooted in meaningful activities of daily life. He describes how abilities such as emotion regulation self-motivation planning and working memory enable people to pursue both personal and collective goals that are critical to survival. Key stages of EF development are identified and the far-reaching individual and social costs of EF deficits detailed. Barkley explains specific ways that his model may support much-needed advances in assessment and treatment. See also Barkley's empirically based ecologically valid assessment tools: Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS for Adults) and Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale-Children and Adolescents (BDEFS-CA). | Executive Functions What They Are How They Work and Why They Evolved

Bayesian Statistics for the Social Sciences Second Edition

Bayesian Statistics for the Social Sciences Second Edition

The second edition of this practical book equips social science researchers to apply the latest Bayesian methodologies to their data analysis problems. It includes new chapters on model uncertainty Bayesian variable selection and sparsity and Bayesian workflow for statistical modeling. Clearly explaining frequentist and epistemic probability and prior distributions the second edition emphasizes use of the open-source RStan software package. The text covers Hamiltonian Monte Carlo Bayesian linear regression and generalized linear models model evaluation and comparison multilevel modeling models for continuous and categorical latent variables missing data and more. Concepts are fully illustrated with worked-through examples from large-scale educational and social science databases such as the Program for International Student Assessment and the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study. Annotated RStan code appears in screened boxes; the companion website (www. guilford. com/kaplan-materials) provides data sets and code for the book's examples. New to This Edition *Utilizes the R interface to Stan-faster and more stable than previously available Bayesian software-for most of the applications discussed. *Coverage of Hamiltonian MC; Cromwell’s rule; Jeffreys' prior; the LKJ prior for correlation matrices; model evaluation and model comparison with a critique of the Bayesian information criterion; variational Bayes as an alternative to Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling; and other new topics. *Chapters on Bayesian variable selection and sparsity model uncertainty and model averaging and Bayesian workflow for statistical modeling. | Bayesian Statistics for the Social Sciences Second Edition
