Beschreibung
This Brief introduces two empirically grounded models of situated mental phenomena: contextual social cognition (the collection of psychological processes underlying context-dependent social behavior) and action-language coupling (the integration of ongoing actions with movement-related verbal information). It combines behavioral, neuroscientific, and neuropsychiatric perspectives to forge a novel view of contextual influences on active, multi-domain processes. Chapters highlight the models' translational potential for the clinical field by focusing on diseases compromising social cognition (mainly illustrated by behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia) and motor skills (crucially, Parkinson’s disease). A final chapter sets forth metatheoretical considerations regarding intercognition, the constant binding of processes triggered by environmental and body-internal sources, which confers a sensus communis to our experience. In addition, the book includes two commentaries written by external peers pondering on advantages and limits of the proposal.
Contextual Cognition will be of interest to students, teachers, and researchers from the fields of cognitive science, neurology, psychiatry, neuroscience, psychology, behavioral science, linguistics, and philosophy.
Offers an innovative approach to cognitive neuroscience, emphasizing situated and integrative frameworks over mainstream isolationist and decontextualized approaches Presents a joint analysis of two hot topics in contemporary cognitive neuroscience which are rarely discussed together: contextual social cognition and dynamic action-language coupling Introduces two neurocognitive models supported by empirical evidence and pregnant with implications for clinical practice Offers methodological and epistemological reflections on the construction of experiments and theoretical models of cognitive neuroscience, with an emphasis on the notion of "intercognition"
