The Psychology of Learning and Motivation publishes empirical and theoretical contributions in cognitive and experimental psychology, ranging from classical and instrumental conditioning to complex learning and problem solving.

This is the fourth edition of the undisputed classic on the prefrontal cortex, the principal "e;executive"e; structure of the brain.

This volume investigates the implications of how our brain directs our movements on decision making.

This volume of Progess in Brain Research follows on from the 32nd International Symposium of the Groupe de recherche sur le systeme nerveux central (GRSNC), May 2010, and aims to provide an overview of the various neural mechanisms that contribute to learning new motor and sensory skills, and to adapting to changed circumstances, including the use of devices and implants to substitute for lost sensory or motor abilities (brain machine interfaces).

Diffusion MRI is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method that produces in vivo images of biological tissues weighted with the local microstructural characteristics of water diffusion, providing an effective means of visualizing functional connectivities in the nervous system.

The study of learning and memory is a central topic in neuroscience and psychology.

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, often cited as 5-HT) is one of the major excitatory neurotransmitter, and the serotonergic system is one of the best studied and understood transmitter systems.

This volume presents a variety of studies relating to the reach to grasp movement and provides a necessary and valuable contribution to the field of motor control.

The simple task of grasping objects has been studied for centuries by scientists, therapists and engineers who have tried to understand and duplicate the versatility of the human hand.

The intent of this book is to describe those perceptual and cognitive components which contribute to skilled motor performance in a wide variety of disciplines, including sports, microsurgery, video games, and speech.

This volume attempts to bring together a collection of current approaches to, and related empirical investigations on, the development of coordination in the first two years of life.

Our lives are informed by perceptual and cognitive processes at all levels, from instrumental learning to metaphorical discourse to memorial representation.

It has become a truism that the frozen optical diagram representation of vision is the worst possible picture of the way in which we visually interact with the environment.

Considerable evidence exists that visual sensory information is analyzed simultaneously along two or more independent pathways.

During the past two decades, there has been a dramatic increasein interest in the study of motor control and learning.

This volume examines the development of timing in coordinated action from several different ontogenetic perspectives.

A large number of volumes have been produced summarizing the work on generation and control of rhythmic movements, in particular locomotion.

Difficulties in motor behavior are commonly associated with a variety of disabilities.

As indicated by its title A History of Great Ideas in Abnormal Psychology, this book is not just concerned with the chronology of events or with biographical details of great psychiatrists and psychopathologists.

Stimulus-response compatibility refers to the finding that certain mappings of stimuli to responses produce faster and more accurate responding than do others.

Individuals from diverse disciplines, including neurology, physiology, psychology, mathematics, and engineering have contributed to this volume.

Is there a `right way' to study coordination?

The major focus of this book is on the differences between ecological approaches to action (`action theories'), and theories on motor control and learning couched in terms of information processing (`motor theories').

This volume is the outcome of an international symposium held in Berlin, FRG, which brought together researchers in the field of infant development.

Spatial Neglect is one of the few areas in Neuropsychology where clinicians, psychologists and animal experimenters have succeeded in adopting a common language.

Graphonomics is the newly created term for the science of handwriting and other graphic skills.

The volume applies to the study of the motor system the computational approach developed by David Marr for the visual system.

Based upon a conference held in Bethesda in 1985, this volume brings together the research and theoretical perspectives of experts in the developmental aspects of motor control, coordination, and skill in the mentally handicapped.

Differing Perspectives in Motor Learning, Memory, and Control

Apraxia is a term used to denote a disorder in the performance of limb, verbal and oral non-verbal gestures, with often preserved ability to perform these same gestures outside the clinical setting in the appropriate situation or environment.

This book reviews progress and describes original research in the cognitive psychology of the arts.

Under the title The Coordination and Regulation of Movements, an English language version of six of the most important papers of the Russian physiologist Nicholas Bernstein was published in 1967 (Pergamon Press Ltd.

From the human brain, event related potentials (ERPs) can be obtained which reflect psychological information processing.

Cognition and Memory

The contributors to this book are all distinguished, internationally-known specialists working in the motor control and learning area.

This book concentrates on the organizational level of neurons and neuronal networks under the unifying theme "e;The Self-Organizing Brain - From Growth Cones to Functional Networks"e;.

This book is the result of the 20th International Summer School in Brain Research, organized in August 1997 in Amsterdam, by the Netherlands Institute for Brain Research at the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences.

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.

Psychology of Learning and Motivation

Selectionism and the Brain addresses a number of important theoretical issues in light of recent empirical data from neuropsychological studies.
