Cognition in Individual and Social Contexts
This volume consists of 58 papers concerned with cognition in individual and social contexts. It is organized into eight parts, each containing papers that reflect current concerns of that area. The diversity of areas illustrates the degree to which cognitive psychology has spread beyond its original boundaries, and the important links that cognitive psychologists are forging with other areas. Overall, several chapters discuss the nature of consciousness, and others consider the link between theory and methodology; other chapters argue the relevance of computational models to cognitive processing, and others highlight the relevance of individual differences in aspects of cognition.

Perception, Evaluation, Interpretation
This volume, dealing with important aspects of perception and how these perceptions are evaluated and interpreted, brings together contributions from many of Europe's leading experts. It will be of interest to those involved in theoretical design and empirical research in general psychology, clinical and health psychology, organizational, work, and traffic psychology, developmental psychology, and psychodiagnostics. This complex topic is discussed from four main perspectives: -- Information, perception, and memory looks at general aspects of perception and cognitive information processing during judgment formation -- Interaction, dialogue, and interpretation examines judgment formation as a form of dialogue and interpersonal interaction, with special emphasis on psychotherapy -- Assessment, judgment, and application concentrates on applied procedures and approaches, especially with regard to diagnostics -- Self, environment, and evaluation takes judgment formation as a process of integration within the social context and in specific social situations.
