Reaching beyond the standard view of exceptional cognition equaling superior intelligence, the \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Individual Differences in Cognition\u003c\/i\u003e examines the latest findings from psychobiology, cognitive psychology, and neuroscience, for a comprehensive state-of-the-art volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBreaking 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoverage highlights include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between cognition and temperamental traits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe development of autobiographical memory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnxiety and attentional control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe neurophysiology of gender differences in cognitive ability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntelligence and cognitive control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual differences in dual task coordination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe effects of subclinical depression on attention, memory, and reasoning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMood as a shaper of information.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eResearchers, clinicians, and graduate students in psychology and cognitive sciences, including clinical psychology and neuropsychology, personality and social psychology, neuroscience, and education, will find the \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Individual Differences in Cognition\u003c\/i\u003e an expert guide to the field as it currently stands and to its agenda for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aleksandra Gruszka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1461432170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781461432173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 1.05d","brand":"Aleksandra Gruszka","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47001545965823,"sku":"9781461432173","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e3c6203a-f306-425b-998d-c0a51f555195.jpg?v=1751601397","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/handbook-of-individual-differences-in-aleksandra-gruszka-9781461432173","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
