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...

Interpersonal coordination is an important feature of all social systems. From everyday activities to playing sport and participating in the performing arts, human behaviour is constrained by the need to continually interact with others. This book examines how interpersonal coordination tendencies in social systems emerge, across a range of contexts and at different scales, with the aim of helping practitioners to understand collective behaviours and create learning environments to improve performance. 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...

Les patients atteints de maladies neurodégénératives se plaignent de plus en plus auprès des cliniciens de ressentir, de façon confuse, une certaine déstructuration au sein de ce qui construit leur « moi profond ». Face à ce constat, intégrer le concept de représentation à la pratique des thérapeutes devient une évidence : représentation de soi, représentation des autres, représentation du monde. C’est dans cette interface, que l’on désigne sous le terme de neurologie comportementale, que doit se situer leur analyse sémiologique, qu’ils soient gériatres, psychiatres ou neurologues. Cet ouvrage, fruit de la collaboration entre un neurologue et un psychologue, explore...
