Abstract

Many studies in cognitive psychology have provided evidence of systematic deviations in cognitive task performance relative to that dictated by optimality, rationality, or coherency. The texts in this volume present an account of research into the cognitive biases observed on various tasks: reasoning, categorization, evaluation, and probabilistic and confidence judgments. The authors have attempted to discern the contribution of the study of bias to our understanding of the cognitive processes involved in each case, rather than proposing an inventory of the different types of biases.

Abstract

"Cognitive Biases in Health and Psychiatric Disorders: Neurophysiological Foundations focuses on the neurophysiological basis of biases in attention, interpretation, expectancy and memory. Each chapter includes a review of each specific bias, including both positive and negative information in both healthy individuals and psychiatric populations. This book provides readers with major theories, methods used in investigating biases, brain regions associated with the related bias, and autonomic responses to specific biases. Its end goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the neural, autonomic and cognitive mechanisms related to processing biases." -- Publisher's description.

Abstract

Of central importance is how our brain is able to select information about our surroundings from the vast amount of information available to it. If we were unable to be selective we would simply be overwhelmed with information. Accordingly, 'selective attention' is a matter of central concern to psychologists. Whereas the advent of information processing approaches has brought a wealth of new data there is still much confusion on the subject and no clear theory concerning selective attention in vision, the most important field of selective attention research. In this book, A. H. C. van der Heijden clarifies the complex concept of selective attention and presents an integrated account of the data. 'Selective Attention in Vision' succeeds in presenting a clear and comprehensive theory that will be of importance to cognitive and experimental psychologists.
