PSYCHOLOGY: THE ADAPTIVE MIND
Nairne, James S.
1997 13372 Midwest Book Review Psychology: The Adaptive Mind presents all the conventional content of an introductory book, but with a twist. Rather than beginning with theory or research, it begins each topic with an everyday example of a "problem" to be solved (for example, how to remember a telephone number; how we can "know" that a rattlesnake's rattle signals an event). In every chapter, Psychology: The Adaptive Mind "reframes" the subject matter of psychology by placing the major emphasis on how particular behaviors, cognitive processes, and emotions help people solve important adaptive problems -- not just survival problems, but everyday problems. For example, the principles of classical conditioning are introduced as "solutions" to the problem of how people learn about signals in their environment. By presenting the field of psychology in the context of "adaptive problem solving", Psychology: The Adaptive Mind provides a distinctive and cohesive viewpoint that effectively organizes and integrates the material and makes it easy to learn from. Book Description In this fresh, intellectually stimulating, and accessible approach to psychology, Jim Nairne treats research and theory from a unique adaptive problem-solving perspective. The subject matter of psychology is "reframed" by placing the major emphasis on how particular behaviors, cognitive processes, and emotions help people solve important adaptive problems - not just survival problems, but everyday problems. By presenting the field of psychology in the context of "adaptive problem solving, " Nairne provides a distinctive and cohesive viewpoint that effectively organizes and integrates the material and makes it easier to learn. Throughout the text, Nairne integrates current and classic empirical research with an overall focus on psychology as a scientific endeavor. Clean, unmarked and AS NEW inside pages.
