The aim of the European Cognitive Science Conference is the presentation of empirical, theoretical, and analytic work from all areas of interest in cognitive science, such as artificial intelligence, education, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and anthropology. The focus is on interdisciplinary work that is either of interest for more than one of the research areas mentioned or integrates research methods from different fields. With contributions by cognitive scientists from 20 different countries, the papers in this volume reflect the origins of this conference, as well as its international scope.
News of Alzheimer’s disease is constantly in the headlines. Every day we hear heart-wrenching stories of people caring for a loved one who has become a shell of their former self, of projections about rising incidence rates, and of cures that are just around the corner. However, we don't see or hear from the people who actually have the disease. In Living with Alzheimer’s, Renée L. Beard argues that the exclusively negative portrayals of Alzheimer’s are grossly inaccurate. To understand what life with memory loss is really like, Beard draws on intensive observations of nearly 100 seniors undergoing cognitive evaluation, as well as post-diagnosis interviews with individuals experiencin...

Showcasing the latest research from scientists and academics, this collection of studies examines how and why interpersonal coordination is crucial for success in sport and the performing arts...
Le respect des libertés des patients dans la pratique psychologique. L’éthique pose des questions difficiles au psychologue compétent qui respecte l’être humain et sa liberté. Comment soutenir le désir de vie chez celui qui va mourir en se gardant de toute illusoire gestion de la mort ? Que devient la liberté de consentir lorsque des évaluations ou des traitements psychologiques sont entrepris sous contrainte ? Un changement de fonctionnement institutionnel implique-t-il toujours le consentement des sujets concernés ? Dans des domaines aussi différents que la santé, le travail, la formation ou la justice, des exemples montrent comment le psychologue doit définir sa juste plac...
This book establishes, and then analyses, the interrelation between series and dependence by focusing on two aspects of their connection: the overconsumption of TV series, and the production devices that lead to it. Due to its two-sided nature, the volume brings together specialists from different backgrounds. On the one hand, it involves people working with addiction, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers, whose analytical tools and statistics are extremely useful in assessing the prevalence of TV series addiction, as well as its consequences, in order to make sense of its mechanics. For similar reasons, the authors also include professionals working with children and tee...

"Nous le savons tous : notre société actuelle voue un véritable culte à la jeunesse et à la beauté, pour ne pas dire à la perfection. Des sommes astronomiques sont consacrées, chaque année, à la quête d'une jouvence artificielle : botox, collagène, chirurgie, liposuccion, implants de toutes sortes, Viagra, DHEA, etc. Pour beaucoup, les outrages de l'âge doivent disparaître, parfois même au détriment de notre santé. On oublie trop souvent que les secrets de la jeunesse et de la vitalité tiennent avant tout à de bonnes habitudes de vie. Vivez mieux, Vivez plus vieux ! nous livre ici certains « secrets » de longévité, mis en pratique par son auteur, un jeune retraité de ...
