Right Hemisphere Language Comprehension: Perspectives From Cognitive Neuroscience

The statement, "The Right Hemisphere (RH) processes language"--while not exactly revolutionary--still provokes vigorous debate. It often elicits the argument that anything the RH does with language is not linguistic but "paralinguistic." The resistance to the notion of RH language processing persists despite the fact that even the earliest observers of Left Hemisphere (LH) language specialization posited some role for the RH in language processing, and evidence attesting to various RH language processes has steadily accrued for more than 30 years. In this volume, chapters pertain to a wide, but by no means, exhaustive set of language comprehension processes for which RH contributions have been demonstrated. The sections are organized around these processes, beginning with initial decoding of written or spoken input, proceeding through semantic processing of single words and sentences, up to comprehension of more complex discourse, as well as problem solving. The chapters assembled here should begin to melt this resistance to evidence of RH language processing. This volume's main goal is to compile evidence about RH language function from a scattered literature. The editorial commentaries concluding each section highlight the relevance of these phenomena for psycholinguistic and neuropsychological theory, and discuss similarities and apparent discrepancies in the findings reported in individual chapters. In the final chapter, common themes that emerge from the enterprise of studying RH language and future challenge for the field are reviewed. Although all chapters focus only on "typical" laterality of right handed people, this work provides a representative sample of the current state of the art in RH language research. Important features include: * a wide range of coverage from speech perception and reading through complex discourse comprehension and problem-solving; * research presented from both empirical and theoretical perspectives; and * commentaries and conclusions integrating findings and theories across sub-domains, and speculating on future directions of the field.

The Philosophical Background and Scientific Legacy of E. B. Titchener's Psychology: Understanding Introspectionism (SpringerBriefs in Philosophy)

​This volume offers a new understanding of Titchener’s influential system of psychology popularly known as introspectionism, structuralism and as classical introspective psychology. Adopting a new perspective on introspectionism and seeking to assess the reasons behind its famous implosion, this book reopens and rewrites the chapter in the history of early scientific psychology pertaining to the nature of E. B. Titchener’s psychological system. Arguing against the view that Titchener’s system was undone by an overreliance on introspection, the author explains how this idea was first introduced by the early behaviorists in order to advance their own theoretical agenda. Instead, the author argues that the major philosophical flaw of introspectionism was its utter reliance on key theoretical assumptions inherited from the intellectual tradition of British associationism—assumptions that were upheld in defiance of introspection, not because of introspection. The book is divided into three parts. In Part I, British associationism is examined thoroughly. The author here discusses the psychology of influential empiricist philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, David Hume, David Hartley, James Mill, and John Stuart Mill. In Part II of the book, Titchener’s introspectionist system of psychology is examined and analyzed. In Part III, the author argues that Titchener’s psychology should be understood as a form of associationism and explains how analysis, not introspection, was central to introspectionism.

Alleinsein macht Sinn: Von der Kunst mit sich einig zu sein

Ein Buch, das Mut macht, das Alleinsein, zumindest „auf Zeit“, zu wagen. Es zeigt, wie Rückzug und Ruhe, als Reifephasen genutzt, das innere Wachstum des Menschen befördern. Von 2 Autoren geschrieben, zeigen die Texte, wie vielschichtig das Thema ist. Jeder Dritte ist allein – diese Tatsache ist Ausgangspunkt von Betrachtungen und Erkenntnissen, die von der Psychologie, aber auch Literatur Anregungen erhalten. Und das von der Lebenserfahrung des inzwischen verstorbenen Autors Ulrich Beer – wie von dem frischen Blick des jungen Autors Malte Güth profitiert. So ist das Buch anregende Lektüre und Ratgeber des Alleinseins, das Einsichten in moderne psychologische und fachübergreifende Forschung einschließt, kompakt und verständlich geschrieben.

Fühlen macht Sinn: Wie wir Gefühle erleben und warum wir sie brauchen

Gefühle sind die treibende Kraft des Menschen. Kaum vorstellbar, wie sich unser Leben ohne Gefühle gestalten würde. Emotionen üben Einfluss auf unser Denken, beeinflussen unseren Umgang mit anderen Menschen und umgekehrt lernen wir im Laufe des Lebens den Umgang mit Emotionen. Und doch wünschen sich viele ein Leben ohne oft verwirrende Emotionen.Dieses Buch zeigt, wie vitalitätsstiftend Emotionen einerseits sind, andererseits auch der Kontrolle bedürfen. So sind Gefühle immer auch Impulsgeber für unser Verhalten. Oft stehen sie im Konflikt mit dem, was wir uns wünschen oder für vernünftig halten. Durch Texte von Ulrich Beer im Wechsel mit weiteren Kapiteln von Malte R. Güth wird dieser scheinbare Widerspruch aufgeklärt. Mit moderner psychologischer Forschung, zahlreichen lebensnahen Beispielen und fachübergreifender Diskussion lernt der Leser Offenheit gegenüber Emotionen – und inwiefern es das rechte Maß an Kontrolle über sie gibt.

Gender Roles: A Handbook of Tests and Measures

Beere has produced a new edition of her Women and Women's Issues: A Handbook of Tests and Measurements. Based largely on a search of the PsychLIT and ERIC databases from January 1978 to December 1988, the volume includes information on 211 tests and measures pertaining to gender roles and attitudes towards gender. . . . Particularly useful are chapter reviews of the literature in which the author reviews the quality of available research. Recommended for college and university libraries. ChoiceThis handbook stems, in part, from the author's previously published Women and Women's Issues. Realizing that a book published in 1979 could no longer provide researchers with the up-to-date information they require regarding measures to use in research, Beere set out to revise and update her work. In the process, she soon discovered that the measures identified through her search of the literature produced since her first book was published far exceeds the number that can be realistically described in a single handbook. Thus, she has undertaken a two-volume guide, the first of which, Gender Roles, describes only those measures pertaining to gender roles and attitudes toward gender-related issues. Gender roles are broadly defined to include adults' and children's gender roles, gender stereotypes, marital roles, parental roles, employee roles, and multiple roles. A total of 211 measures are included.In addition to 67 scales still in use that were described in her earlier book, Beere includes scales that are relevant, have evidence of their reliability and/or validity, and are used in more than one published article or ERIC document. If a scale does not satisfy these criteria, but its development is the focus of an article or ERIC document, it is included, as are scales that are unusual or pertain to a topic that would otherwise receive inadequate coverage in this handbook. The scale descriptions follow a standard format that includes the following information: title; author or authors as listed in the earliest publication mentioning the scale; earliest date that the scale is mentioned in a publication; profile of variable being measured; type of instrument; description; sample items; previous and appropriate subjects; scoring information; a description of the development of the measure; information regarding reliability and validity; and a listing of published studies that use the measure. This important new handbook promises to make several important contributions to gender-related research. It will make it easier for researchers to locate quality instruments appropriate for their research, discourage the proliferation of substandard or redundant measures, set some minimal standards for measures used in gender role research, and encourage more research regarding gender roles. All social science libraries will want to find a place for it in their reference collections.
