By describing experiments that control, manipulate and measure mental processes, this book shows how we can discover the answers to key questions about the mind, such as: 'Can we focus attention on more than one thing?' and 'Is language unique to humans?' Written in a down-to-earth narrative prose that avoids jargon, addresses the reader directly and draws on the authors' unique style ('suppose Willingham split his pants at a junior high dance ...'), this text takes complex experiments in cognitive psychology and describes them for undergraduate students. Willingham has a record of excellence in translating cognitive psychology research for K-12 teachers with his bestselling Why Don't Students Like School? and other popular books. This book applies the clear and approachable prose style towards building foundational knowledge in cognitive psychology for undergraduates.

Bringing together an internationally acclaimed team of scholars, this volume provides different perspectives on the ever-changing realm of persuasive language.

Delve into the ideal resource for theory and research on parental monitoring and adolescents' disclosure and concealment from parents. This handbook presents ground-breaking research exploring how adolescents respond to parents' attempts to control and manage their activities and feelings. The chapters highlight how adolescents' responses are as important for their mental health and behaviour as parents' attempts to regulate them. Examining responsive, intrusive, and invasive parenting behaviours, the volume addresses modern challenges like monitoring in the digital age and medical decision-making. It covers cutting-edge research on diverse cultures and groups including Latinx, Turkish, Chinese, LGBTQ+, and chronically ill youth. The internationally recognized contributors offer insights from different theoretical perspectives and describe novel methodological approaches, focusing on variations across different developmental stages, contexts, and cultures.

Brownian motion is an important topic in various applied fields where the analysis of random events is necessary. Introducing Brownian motion from a statistical viewpoint, this detailed text examines the distribution of quadratic functionals of Brownian motion and demonstrates the utility of this approach for time series analysis. It also offers the first comprehensive guide on deriving the Fredholm determinant and the resolvent associated with such statistics. Presuming only a familiarity with standard statistical theory and the basics of stochastic processes, this book brings together a set of important statistical tools in one accessible resource for researchers and graduate students. Readers also benefit from online appendices, which provide probability density graphs and solutions to the chapter problems.

This book provides a unified way of calculating a variety of orbital effects due to general relativity and modified models of gravity, to first and second post-Newtonian orders. It gives explicit results valid for arbitrary orbital and spin configurations, without a-priori simplifying assumptions on the orbital eccentricity and inclination.

This book offers an original and innovative approach to the understanding of the special regimes in international law. It argues that special regimes be conceived as communities of practice, explaining how this approach thoroughly demonstrates why specialists in different fields of international law do similar things differently.
