 | Categorization by Humans and Machines Product# 459051906 Selling for $116.95 "The objective of the series has always been to provide a forum in which leading contributors to an area can write about significant bodies of research in which they are involved. The operating procedure has been to invite contributions from interesting, active investigators, and then allow them essentially free rein to present their perspectives on important research problems. The result of such invitations over the past two decades has been collections of papers which consist of thoughtful integrations providing an overview of a particular scientific problem. The series has an excellent tradition of high quality papers and is widely read by researchers in cognitive and experimental psychology." |

 | Adult Information Processing Product# 460549081 Selling for $107 "This book aims to reverse the bias shown in research literature concerning the decline of information processing abilities with age. Twenty chapters identify areas of limited or no decline in cognitive functioning with respect to rate of information processing, attentional capacity, object perception, word perception, language comprehension, learning, memory, and problem-solving. These findings attest to the imbalance of previous published research, presenting a fairer portrayal of the aged mind. Key Features * Investigates a broad variety of information-processing tasks and capabilities * Shows that aging adults can look forward to minimum dysfunction over a wide range of intellectual activity * Reverses the bias toward portrayal of the aged, dysfunctional mind * Provides information applicable toward interacting with the aged in counseling and care-giving settings" |

Skinner) point of view. Explores the continuities between human learning and the learning of other animals.
