The major shift in focus in social psychology in recent decades is increasing interest in the latent cognitive processes that underlie social-psychological phenomena, according to Klauer (U. of Freiburg) and other German psychologists. In introducing these 13 chapters, they note that in the cognitive revolution, new theoretical approaches and new methods are influencing each other. Methods explained by international researchers include attentional paradigms, priming paradigms, response interference tasks, evaluative conditioning, mindset priming, working memory capacity, psycholinguistic methods, assessment of metacognition, peripheral psychophysiological measures, neuroimaging methods, and mathematical models and connectionist simulations. Chapters include examples and recommended reading. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
