CHILDREN’S IMAGINATIVE PLAY

You are hereby invited to a very special journey, a journey to the wonderful world of children’s make-believe. Such a journey does not require traveling far away. In fact, the make-believe world is very near. It is in the nursery room of our children, in their school, in our backyard, on our street. And yet, its gates are not widely open for everybody. For many adults, make-believe play is li…

This book contains primarily papers presented at the seminar held at the inauguration of the doctoral program in psychology in May 1994, at the University of Tromsø, which is the youngest university in Norway and the northernmost university in the world (if one discounts the university branch on Svalbard at 88 degrees north). In fact, the University of Tromsø is situated on a coastal island i…

The Study of Violent Crime

As the plan to write this book began to develop, a few central points became immediately apparent. First, the concept of violence represents a vast collection of behaviors and cognitions within a theoretical domain whose parameters are extremely ambiguous. Of course, there are distinctions between the types of violence and their nature, which can be clearly articulated, but the causal and corre…

A Life Course Approach to Mental Disorders

A life course approach to mental disorders is concerned with the interplay of social and biological factors in the production and consequences of mental illness over the life span—from the prenatal period to death and across generations. As described by Drs Kuh and Ben-Shlomo in the Preface, the life course approach to mental disorders draws on two foundations: the psychological life span per…

Handbook of Advances in Culture and Psychology

Originally the concept of culture was proposed only for humans, stressing the importance of social influences on its dynamics and development. Although there is no question that all human groups have different diverse, complex, and rich cultures, a debate begun in the early 1950s raised the issue of animal culture and what it may mean for the uniqueness of human culture. This chapter argues tha…

FINDING THE BODY IN THE MIND

Freud is not dead. Far from it. In the year of the 150th anniversary of his birth we can truly say that his ideas are undergoing a renaissance. Freud is everywhere. And especially in neuroscience, we are taking a new look at his work and concluding that it is “still the most coherent and intellectually satisfying view of the mind” (Kandel, 1998) that we have. (Mark Solms, 2006, last page) …

PSYCHOLOGY AND THE CONDUCT OF EVERYDAY LIFE

Psychology and the Conduct of Everyday Life moves psychological theory and research practice out of the laboratory and into the everyday world. Drawing on recent developments across the social and human sciences, it examines how people live as active subjects within the contexts of their everyday lives, using this as an analytical basis for understanding the dilemmas and contradictions people f…

MIND AS MACHINE

This is a historical essay, not an encyclopedia: it expresses one person’s view of cognitive science as a whole. It’s driven by my conviction that cognitive science today—and, for that matter, tomorrow—can’t be properly understood without a historical perspective. In that sense, then, my account describes the field as it is now. It does this in a second sense too, for it features va…

The Verbal Behavior Approach

I was a registered nurse with more than a decade of experience, but when my physician husband first mentioned the possibility that my then 21-month-old son Lucas might have autism, I was as bewildered and angry as any parent. To be honest, I had very little experience with autism and it simply never crossed my mind that my first-born was anything less than perfect. So what made my husband thi…

Autism Service Delivery

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2014), approximately one in six children in the USA has a developmental disability with 1 in 68 diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. The societal costs for caring for children with autism are estimated at over $61 billion per year in the USA (Buescher et al. 2014), suggesting a need for high-quality research on assessment and …

UNUSUAL PRODUCTIONS IN PHONOLOGY

The universalist view of acquisition, which espouses the idea that children’s acquisition of phonology is guided by universal principles, has been the dominant position for decades. However, a growing body of literature during the last two decades on children’s early use of words in various languages has brought into focus the relationship between developmental patterns and language-specifi…

Figure 1-1 shows the opening screen of Visual Studio LightSwitch, which looks just like what you would see if you launched the full version. There are differences, however, in many ways.
