Cognition and the Brain: The Philosophy and Neuroscience Movement
This volume provides an up to date and comprehensive overview of the philosophy and neuroscience movement, which applies the methods of neuroscience to traditional philosophical problems and uses philosophical methods to illuminate issues in neuroscience. At the heart of the movement is the conviction that basic questions about human cognition, many of which have been studied for millennia, can be answered only by a philosophically sophisticated grasp of neuroscience's insights into the processing of information by the human brain.
Modern Econometric Analysis: Surveys on Recent Developments
Traditional econometric analysis concentrate on classical methods which are far from suitable handling actual economic problems. Modern econometric analysis tries to develop new approaches from an economic perspective. As a consequence, there is less of a unified econometric theory than in former times. Specific branches which require specific methods have been established.
Practical Research Methods for Educators: Becoming an Evidence-Based Practitioner
This text offers a fresh perspective on developing research skills for educators as well as for students studying to become educators. Practical Research Methods for Educators is unique in identifying the requirements for conducting pragmatic research for everyday instructional personnel. The book introduces key concepts, such as identifying and measuring dependent and independent variables. It also reviews the three forms of research (descriptive, correlation, and experimental).
Recent Progress in Coupled Cluster Methods: Theory and Applications
The coupled cluster method represents one of the most successful and often used approaches to a quantum-theoretical determination of atomic, molecular, and solid state electronic structure and properties. These methods are relevant to a broad spectrum of disciplines ranging from astrophysics to pharmacology.
