Motivation and Cognitive Control
Individuals do not always perform to their full capability on cognitive tasks. When this occurs, the usual explanation is that the individual was not properly motivated. But this begs the important question: How and why does motivation interact with and influence cognitive processing and the control processes that regulate it? What are the underlying mechanisms that govern such interactions? Motivation has been an important component of psychology and neuroscience throughout the history of the field, but has recently been rejuvenated by rapidly accelerating research interest in the nature of motivation-cognition interactions, particularly as they impact control processes and goal-directed be...

A Patient's Perspective on Spastic Tetraparesis Diagnosis
There are books that discuss all types of cerebral palsy and provide guidelines for families of those who have it, but they do not describe specifically the spastic tetraparesis diagnosis. They address the plegia type of diagnosis and not the paresis one, yet these are two different conditions. They are mostly written from a doctor’s or physiotherapist’s point of view, and not by the patients themselves. This book is different, as it is written by someone with personal experience of receiving this diagnosis. It gives an overview of how the diagnosis of spastic tetraparesis affects the body at each level (face, hands, abdomen, lower limbs), as well as the challenges the diagnosed person faces in daily life, and ways to overcome these challenges (tools to make dressing easier, different walking aids along with their drawbacks and benefits, ways to be independent in carrying out activities, among others). It also explores the relationship between disability and sexuality.
The Cambridge Handbook of Human Affective Neuroscience
This handbook is the only single volume to capture the current range of neuroscience approaches to human emotion. The contributions, written by the world's leading scientists in the field, address a wide variety of topics, from face and voice perception to pain and music, as well as social behaviors, decision making, and individual differences.
Neuroscience of Decision Making
The intersection between the fields of behavioral decision research and neuroscience has proved to be fertile ground for interdisciplinary research. Whereas the former is rich in formalized models of choice, the latter is rife with techniques for testing behavioral models at the brain level. As a result, there has been the rapid emergence of progressively more sophisticated biological models of choice, geared toward the development of ever more complete mechanistic models of behavior. This volume provides a coherent framework for distilling some of the key themes that have emerged as a function of this research program, and highlights what we have learned about judgment and decision making as a result. Although topics that are theoretically relevant to judgment and decision making researchers are addressed, the book also ventures somewhat beyond the traditional boundaries of this area to tackle themes that would of interest to a greater community of scholars. Neuroscience of Decision Making provides contemporary and essential reading for researchers and students of cognitive psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and economics.
The Neurobiology of Trust
This is a multi-disciplinary introduction to the study of trust, written by experts from the social, behavioural, and neural sciences.
Neuroeconomics
Neuroeconomics is a new highly promising approach to understanding the neurobiology of decision making and how it affects cognitive social interactions between humans and societies/economies. This book is the first edited reference to examine the science behind neuroeconomics, including how it influences human behavior and societal decision making from a behavioral economics point of view. Presenting a truly interdisciplinary approach, Neuroeconomics presents research from neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics, and includes chapters by all the major figures in the field, including two Economics Nobel laureates.* An authoritative reference written and edited by acknowledged experts and founders of the field * Presents an interdisciplinary view of the approaches, concepts, and results of the emerging field of neuroeconomics relevant for anyone interested in this area of research* Full-color presentation throughout with carefully selected illustrations to highlight key concepts

Okosabban, gyorsabban, jobban
Hogyan tudjuk mentális modellek segítségével fenntartani a koncentrációnkat? Miként taníthatjuk meg a céltalan tinédzsereket, hogy önmagukat motiválják? Miért fontosabb az, hogyan működik egy csoport, mint az, hogy kik a tagjai? Sokak szerint a hatékonyság azt jelenti, hogy többet vagy keményebben kell dolgoznunk. A Pulitzer-díjas újságíró, Charles Duhigg szerint erről szó sincs: az igazán hatékony csupán az különbözteti meg elfoglalt társaiktól, hogy megválasztják, mely ambícióik megvalósításán fáradoznak, és mely céljaikat hagyják figyelmen kívül, valamint hogy milyen szervezeti kultúrát alakítanak ki vezetőként a csapatukban. Az Okosab...
