دانلود کتاب Cognition and Language: Perspectives from New Zealand

This volume marks the first comprehensive collection of reports from  research projects in cognitive psychology in New Zealand. The existence  of such a book is a reflection of the remarkable and ongoing growth in  cognitive inquiry in this part of the world. Although most influential  models and theories on cognition have originated in North America and  Europe, the last two decades have seen an upsurge of cognitive research  in the Australasian region. Cognition and Language is  intended to make accessible and integrate theoretically significant  outcomes of cognitive science in New Zealand research centres. Our  intention was to edit the first volume on the international publishing  scene reflecting the depth, quality, and some of the thematic diversity  of cognitive psychology in New Zealand centres. It reflects some of  the perspectives and approaches that New Zealand scientists take to internationally well recognised cognitive topics. It also indicates more unique themes that are investigated reliant on the Australasian  context. In particular, the book is meant to integrate studies in the  technical field of perception, the interfaces between cognition and language  (psycholinguistics, psychology of communication), and cognitive- developmental studies — three domains that become increasingly salient in New Zealand  cognitive science.
