Abstract

Il existe des prodiges capables de calculer la racine soixante treizième d'un nombre à cinq cents chiffres en moins de trois minutes. Ils ont pourtant le même cerveau que nous. Alors, comment font-ils, ceux qui pensent plus vite, qui se concentrent plus longtemps ou bien développent une mémoire phénoménale ? Ils utilisent leur cerveau de façon différente et harmonieuse. Dans cet ouvrage, Idriss Aberkane, un auteur dont le cv fait polémique, nous entraîne à la découverte de notre matière grise, nous révélant ses capacités et ses limites, ses points aveugles et ses ressorts inattendus. Pour penser mieux, éduquer mieux, vivre mieux, pas besoin d'être un génie, il suffit d'utiliser les formidables ressources que la nature a mises sous notre crâne. Nous en sommes tous capables.

Abstract

Over the last 10 years advances in the new field of neuromarketing have yielded a host of findings which defy common stereotypes about consumer behavior. Reason and emotions do not necessarily appear as opposing forces. Rather, they complement one another. Hence, it reveals that consumers utilize mental accounting processes different from those assumed in marketers' logical inferences when it comes to time, problems with rating and choosing, and in post-purchase evaluation. People are often guided by illusions not only when they perceive the outside world but also when planning their actions - and consumer behavior is no exception. Strengthening the control over their own desires and the ability to navigate the maze of data are crucial skills consumers can gain to benefit themselves, marketers and the public. Understanding the mind of the consumer is the hardest task faced by business researchers. This book presents the first analytical perspective on the brain - and biometric studies which open a new frontier in market research.

Abstract

Les Plans cancer successifs, les nombreux travaux internationaux n'ont pas encore permis la mise au point d'une consultation d'annonce du cancer type. Et pour cause, si l'on accepte les principes de la multiplicité des cancers, de la variété des patients, de la subjectivité de leurs réactions et de l'unicité de la relation médecin-malade, il faut convenir qu'aucune technique, aucun mode systématisé de communication ne peut être appliqué à la transmission d'un diagnostic évocateur de mort. Notre approche collective permet cependant de retenir : - une éthique de la relation inégale annonceur-annoncé; - une connaissance indispensable des principes de la relation médecin-malade ; - une implication d'équipe et même de réseau de soins formel ou informel; - une connaissance de la psychopathologie de l'approche de la mort. Oui, les traitements progressent, oui, les efforts des équipes soignantes sont considérables. Non, les médecins ne sont pas tous formés, ni bien formés. Les autres soignants ne peuvent compenser ou compléter la singularité de la relation médecin-patient. Cet ouvrage aborde, dans une approche multidisciplinaire, en profondeur, avec de nombreux cas cliniques les différentes situations d'annonce d'un cancer, de ses traitements, de ses rechutes, de son aggravation ou de sa guérison. Les pratiques y sont pédagogiquement abordées, les théories déconstruites, la relation mise au premier plan.  L'ouvrage fait partie de la collection Psycho-oncologie, apparentée à la revue du même nom, dirigées par Marie-Frédérique Bacqué,  psychologue clinicienne, et professeur des universités de Strasbourg.

Abstract

From questions surrounding motives to the concept of crimes of passion, the intersection of emotional states and legal practice has long interested professionals as well as the public recent cases involving extensive pretrial publicity, highly charged evidence, and instances of jury nullification continue to make the subject particularly timely. With these trends in mind, Emotion and the Law brings a rich tradition in social psychology into sharp forensic focus in a unique interdisciplinary volume. Emotion, mood and affective states, plus patterns of conduct that tend to arise from them in legal contexts, are analyzed in theoretical and practical terms, using real-life examples from criminal and civil cases. From these complex situations, contributors provide answers to bedrock questions what roles affect plays in legal decision making, when these roles are appropriate, and what can be done so that emotion is not misused or exploited in legal procedures and offer complementary legal and social/cognitive perspectives on these and other salient issues: Positive versus negative affect in legal decision making. Emotion, eyewitness memory, and false memory. The influence of emotions on juror decisions, and legal approaches to its control. A terror management theory approach to the understanding of hate crimes. Policy recommendations for managing affect in legal proceedings. Additional legal areas that can benefit from the study of emotion. Emotion and the Law clarifies theoretical grey areas, revisits current practice, and suggests possibilities for both new scholarship and procedural guidelines, making it a valuable reference for psycholegal researchers, forensic psychologists, and policymakers.

Abstract

There are plenty of books that help you use or create games that develop children?s physical skills, and it?s now widely accepted that physical activity can have a positive effect on academic achievement. But this is the first book that shows you how to tailor physical activity games specifically to enhance children?s cognitive abilities. Enhancing Children?s Cognition with Physical Activity Games, written by three authorities in teacher education, exercise physiology, and sport science, shows you how to apply current concepts in child development, cognitive science, physical education, and teacher training to create movement-based learning experiences that benefit children both physically and mentally. You will be guided in creating environments that lend themselves to cognitive development and enhanced academic achievement. And you will understand not only how to create games to foster cognitive development but why such games are so useful in developing the whole child. Enhancing Children?s Cognition with Physical Activity Games offers the following features: Two chapters of sample games, one for preschoolers and kindergarteners, the other for elementary school children Expert guidance in creating your own games for children ages 3 to 12, with an emphasis on developmental ranges of 3 to 7 and 7 to 12 A practice-oriented model of teacher education that shows you how you can best develop and implement physical activity games that support both motor and cognitive development The book contains a running glossary to help teachers and students understand the terms used. It also discusses several models of 21st-century learning, highlighting the role that physical activity games play in a comprehensive education. Enhancing Children?s Cognition With Physical Activity Games is equally useful for teachers working with children in school, before school, or after school and for program directors working with children in community programs. The authors link their application to research, creating a practical reference for professionals in the field, whatever their setting. The book is presented in three parts. Part I grounds you in the research that shows how physical activity affects children?s mental development. You will learn how physical activity benefits children?s cognition and academics, how movement games help children think and learn, and how to create a motivational environment where children want to learn. Part II helps you translate research into practice. You will explore how movements create mental maps and affect mental health, how to engage children in playful learning, and how to incorporate physical activity into your teaching and enhance your teaching models. You will also consider how to assess children at play?how to collect data and know when your program is being effective?and how to apply physical activity games in both the home and the community. In part III, you are supplied with games for preschoolers, kindergartners, and elementary school children. You?ll find games that emphasize three principles: contextual interference, mental control, and discovery. Each chapter concludes with practical implications for teachers, helping you to put into context the information you have come across in that chapter. Enhancing Children?s Cognition with Physical Activity Games helps educators create, design, implement, and evaluate problem-solving games that foster children?s mental engagement and thoughtful decision making. Kids are highly motivated by problem-solving games, and the cognitive skills they develop in solving those problems can be translated to their academic success.

Abstract

User Experience has become a major research area in human-computer interaction. The area of game design and development has been focusing on user experience evaluation for the last 20 years, although a clear definition of user experience is still to be established. The contributors to this volume explore concepts that enhance the overall user experience in games such as fun, playability, flow, immersion and many others. Presenting an overview of current practice from academia and industry in game development, the book shows a variety of methods that can be used to evaluate user experience in games, not only during game-play but also before and after the game play. Evaluating User Experiences in Games: Presents a broad range of user experience evaluation methods and concepts; Provides insights on when to apply the various user experience evaluation methods in the development cycle and shows how methods can be also applied to a more general HCI context; Includes new research on evaluating user experience during game play and after; and social play; Describes new evaluation methods; Details methods that are also applicable for exertion games or tabletop games. This comprehensive book will be welcomed by researchers and practitioners in the field.

Abstract

A considerable proportion of our everyday language is 'formulaic'. It is predictable in form, idiomatic, and seems to be stored in fixed, or semi-fixed, chunks. This book explores the nature and purposes of formulaic language, and looks for patterns across the research findings from the fields of discourse analysis, first language acquisition, language pathology and applied linguistics. It gradually builds up a unified description and explanation of formulaic language as a linguistic solution to a larger, non-linguistic, problem, the promotion of self. The book culminates in a new model of lexical storage, which accommodates the curiosities of non-native and aphasic speech. Parallel analytic and holistic processing strategies are the proposed mechanism which reconciles, on the one hand, our capacity for understanding and producing novel constructions using grammatical knowledge and small lexical units, and on the other, our use of prefabricated material which, though less flexible, also requires less processing.
