Book Synopsis Handbook of Individual Differences in Cognition by : Aleksandra Gruszka
Download or read book Handbook of Individual Differences in Cognition written by Aleksandra Gruszka. This book was released on 2010-06-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As cognitive models of behavior continue to evolve, the mechanics of cognitive exceptionality, with its range of individual variations in abilities and performance, remains a challenge to psychology. Reaching beyond the standard view of exceptional cognition equaling superior intelligence, the Handbook of Individual Differences in Cognition examines the latest findings from psychobiology, cognitive psychology, and neuroscience, for a comprehensive state-of-the-art volume. Breaking down cognition in terms of attentional mechanisms, working memory, and higher-order processing, contributors discuss general models of cognition and personality. Chapter authors build on this foundation as they revisit current theory in such areas as processing effort and general arousal and examine emerging methods in individual differences research, including new data on the role of brain plasticity in cognitive function. The possibility of a unified theory of individual differences in cognitive ability and the extent to which these variables may account for real-world competencies are emphasized, and commentary chapters offer suggestions for further research priorities. Coverage highlights include: The relationship between cognition and temperamental traits. The development of autobiographical memory. Anxiety and attentional control. The neurophysiology of gender differences in cognitive ability. Intelligence and cognitive control. Individual differences in dual task coordination. The effects of subclinical depression on attention, memory, and reasoning. Mood as a shaper of information. Researchers, clinicians, and graduate students in psychology and cognitive sciences, including clinical psychology and neuropsychology, personality and social psychology, neuroscience, and education, will find the Handbook of Individual Differences in Cognition an expert guide to the field as it currently stands and to its agenda for the future.

Book Synopsis Thought Probes As A Source Of Mind Wandering Depend On Attentional Control Demands by : Maren Greve
Download or read book Thought Probes As A Source Of Mind Wandering Depend On Attentional Control Demands written by Maren Greve. This book was released on 2022. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mind wandering is a topic of great interest in many areas, but as with all psychological constructs, the interpretation of experimental results might depend on the way it is measured. A common way of measuring mind wandering in experiments is with self-report thought probes, which researchers have done in a variety of tasks. An important question with this methodology is if the probes themselves may be influencing participants' mind wandering. What is missing in the current literature is a comparison of the effect the number of thought probes has on mind wandering. As such, in the three experiments presented here we randomly assigned participants to receive varying amounts of thought probes during two different tasks. In the first experiment, we found that participants who had received fewer probes mind wandered less during an operation span task. In the second experiment, we found that participants who had received fewer probes mind wandered more during a video lecture. In the third experiment, which was conducted as a within-subjects design, we found that participants mind wandered more during the operation span task compared to the video and mind wandered more when they received more probes compared to fewer probes. The results suggest that thought probes interact with attentional control demands to influence mind wandering.
