Book Description
This is the only book by Cleve Backster himself, describing 36 years of research in biocommunication, observed electrical responses in plant life and other living organisms. All life forms have the capability of responding to one another, from plants and bacteria to foods and animal cells. Most amazing is his work with human leukocytes. These discoveries have opened up a new paradigm in science, ecology and healing.

The Pendulum
Author: Michael Matthews
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402035268
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 532
Book Description
The pendulum is a universal topic in primary and secondary schools, but its full potential for learning about physics, the nature of science, and the relationships between science, mathematics, technology, society and culture is seldom realised. Contributions to this 32-chapter anthology deal with the science, history, methodology and pedagogy of pendulum motion. There is ample material for the richer and more cross-disciplinary treatment of the pendulum from elementary school to high school, and through to advanced university classes. Scientists will value the studies on the physics of the pendulum; historians will appreciate the detailed treatment of Galileo, Huygens, Newton and Foucault’s pendulum investigations; psychologists and educators will learn from the papers on Piaget; teachers will welcome the many contributions to pendulum pedagogy. All readers will come away with a new awareness of the importance of the pendulum in the foundation and development of modern science; and for its centrality in so many facets of society and culture.

The Mechanisms of Perception
Author: Jean Piaget
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135660085
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
First published in 2006. This work represents an attempt to synthesise studies on the development of perception which Piaget started twenty or so years ago, when the Faculte des Sciences de Geneve appointed him to the Chair of Experimental Psychology and Director of the Psychological Laboratory. Most of the studies to be reported have already appeared in the Archives de Psychologie under the general title of Recherches sur Ie Developpement des Perceptions, however, more than fifteen studies which have not been published and which we shall deal with in the following pages.

The Visual (Un)Conscious and Its (Dis)Contents
Author: Bruno G. Breitmeyer
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191020788
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Visual control of our actions can be unconscious as well as conscious. For example, when a pedestrian steps onto a street and then suddenly steps back, to avoid being hit by an oncoming car, the pedestrian's visual system has been able to detect the car very rapidly. Since the registration of the approaching car in conscious vision could take a few hundreds of milliseconds - possibly too long to avoid being struck by it, the rapid injury-avoiding action has relied on the oncoming car being detected at unconscious levels in the visual system. So how, and at what level in the visual system is a stimulus processed unconsciously? This book explores unconscious and conscious vision, investigated using psychophysical and brain-recording methods. These methods allow microtemporal analyses of visual processing during the interval, ranging from a few 10s to a few 100s of milliseconds, between a stimulus's impinging on the retinae and its eliciting a behavioral response or a conscious percept. By tying these findings to well-known neuroanatomical and physiological substrates of vision, the book presents and discusses theoretical and empirical approaches to, and findings on, conscious and unconscious vision. In addition to presenting an in-depth, integrative review of recent and ongoing scientific and scholarly research, the book proposes several avenues for directing future research in these areas. It also provides a well articulated theoretical and a detailed empirical base that points to the special importance of the processing of surface properties of visual objects to their conscious vision. Aimed at scientists and scholars in visual cognition, visual neuroscience and, more broadly, cognitive science - including that part of the philosophical community that is currently occupied with the mind-brain problem, the book sheds new light on and advances experimental, philosophical, and scholarly research on visual consciousness.

Mentalizing in Child Therapy
Author: Marcel G. J. Schmeets
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429916256
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Mentalization-based child therapy, previously known as developmental therapy, is the latest branch on the psychoanalytic tree of knowledge. It comprises a number of techniques that address deficiencies in specific areas of psychological development. It aims to treat children whose development has come to a standstill. A combination of data from psychoanalysis, infant research, attachment research, and neurobiology was of decisive significance in reaching this point. It is becoming clear that neurobiological processes can be understood very well on the basis of psychoanalytic frameworks. These new insights into peoples mental functioning also serve to foster collaboration, resulting in an integration of the more relationship-oriented and the more competence oriented treatments. This book aims to fill a growing need in mental health care for children and young people to recieve an integrated treatment.

Piaget and Knowing
Author: Beryl.A. Geber
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135660719
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
The twin problem of helping students synthesise separate aspects of psychology and, as research workers, familiarising each other with our own thinking - prompted the series of seminars on which this volume is based. This book, like its associated seminars, represents not only the interests of the authors but also the needs of students, both undergraduate and graduate, for whom it has been prepared. The seminars were held in the Psychology Department at the London School of Economics and Political Science. This book aims to present an integration of some of the research problems that are current by showing how each is concerned with the problem of knowing and understanding and how together they throw light on some of the issues raised by Piaget.
