New stages in human information processing research: invariants as key mediators between psychological and physiological approaches towards cognition

Examining and identifying processing universals and how they are implemented in elementary judgemental processes, this edited collection offers evidence that these universals can be extracted and identified from observing law-like principles in perception, cognition, and action.

Addressing memory operations, development, and conceptual learning, the book considers basic and complex meso- and makro-stages of information processing.

Chapter authors provide theoretical accounts of cognitive processing that may offer tools for identification of functional components in brain activity in cognitive neuroscience.
