Dr. Jacqueline N. Crawley, author of the First and Second Editions of What’s Wrong with My Mouse? Behavioral Phenotyping of Transgenic and Knockout Mice,continues to field calls and e-mails from molecular geneticists who ask: how do I run behavioral assays to find out what’s wrong with my mouse? Turn to What’s Wrong with My Mouse? to discover the wealth of mouse behavioral tasks and to get the guidance you need to select the best methods and necessary controls. Chapters are organized by behavioral domain, including measurements of general health, motor functions, sensory abilities, learning and memory, feeding and drinking, reproductive, social, emotional, and reward behaviors in mutant mice. Throughout the chapters, new behavioral tasks and new research discoveries have been added, bringing the Second Edition up to date with the latest science. In addition, the Second Edition includes two new chapters: "Neurodevelopment and Neurodegeneration" discusses mouse behavioral tasks relevant to neurodevelopmental diseases, such as mental retardation and autism, and to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons, Huntingtons, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. "Putting It All Together" recommends strategies for optimizing a battery of behavioral phenotyping tests to address your specific hypotheses about gene functions. The final chapter, "The Next Generation," examines new and emerging technologies. Throughout the book, the use of behavioral testing equipment is illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and representative data. Examples of behavioral tasks successfully applied to transgenic and knockout mouse models are provided, as well as references to the primary literature and step-by-step methods protocols. These features, along with a comprehensive index, listings of database and vendor websites, and an extensive list of references, make this book a valuable and practical resource for students and researchers.

A story of broken humanity following the invasion of a technologically superior alien species. Bleak, harrowing, and unrelenting, the humans must find enough courage to go on fighting.

Although most scientists and philosophers recognize the importance of thought experiments, The Laboratory of the Mind is the only full-length study of their nature and function. Beginning with Galileo's argument on falling bodies, James Robert Brown describes numerous examples of the most influential thought experiments from the history of science. He provides a thorough introduction to the subject, and makes the provocative claim that some thought experiments should be understood in the same way that platonists understand mathematical activity: as an intellectual grasp of an independently existing abstract realm. The book concludes with chapters on the nature of Einstein's work and on the interpretation of quantum mechanics which stand as a test of the author's central 8claims.
Review
"Brown has stimulating things to say about a number of topics, and his book is a model of how to present difficult material clearly and without fuss..." -- David Papineau, Times Higher Education Supplement
"Brown's spledid little book . . . is an excellent value . . . an informative read." -- New Scientist
"Cogent, lively, enthusiastic . . . A wonderfully stimulating book, highly recommended." -- Choice

A man is sent back and forth and in and out of time in an experiment that attempts to unravel the fate and the solution to the problems of a post-apocalyptic world during the aftermath of WW3. The experiment results in him getting caught up in a perpetual reminiscence of past events that are recreated on an airport’s viewing pier.

由坎特威茨、罗迪格和埃尔姆斯三位美国著名心理学家倾力合作的《实验心理学》堪称当代实验心理学教材的典范。本书正文部分共十五章，分为两个部分。前五章构成了第一部分，介绍了心理学研究中的基本问题，如科学与理论建构的一般问题，观察法、相关法和实验法的特点及其差异，研究中的道德问题以及如何阅读与撰写研究报告，等等。其余十章根据研究内容的划分构成了第二部分，介绍了实验方法在具体研究领域（如知觉、记忆、学习和思维）中的应用。将实验方法从大量的心理学史料和事实中提炼出来，将前五章介绍的方法有机地整合到真实的研究情境中，以使读者对方法的具体运用有切实的体会和更深入的认识，从而有助于系统掌握这些方法，提高研究技巧，加快成长进程。
第9版的变化
每一章都增加了新的内容以及新近的参考文献，为了反映最新的研究发现与研究主题，重写了许多章节，这意味着我们要删除大量的文字，的确让人有些难以割舍。第1章增加了有关驾驶中使用移动电话危险性的最新研究，对应用研究与基础研究之间的关系部分进行了内容更新，以反映美国国家卫生研究所（NIH）在推动基础研究成果转化中的进展。第2章更新了表2-1中的数据，重新讨论了媒体暴力对公众健康的威胁，这一章还讨论了选举人对总统候选人在夜间娱乐节目中露面的态度。第3章更换了一个关于人们信仰上帝与攻击性之间关系的更有趣的新例子，以使读者了解交互作用的重要性。第4章增加了伦理委员会（IRB）工作程序介绍，以及知觉到的不公正所产生的问题。第5章使用了新的期刊文章样例，并为期刊文章作者们提供了新的写作要领。第6章开篇用 2007年的新例子替换了1952年的旧例子，尽管作者很喜欢这个旧例子。第7章知觉防御的介绍被替换为外显知觉研究的介绍。第8章对认知控制进行了新的讨论。第9章介绍了心理治疗中的变化标准设计。第10章增加了闪光灯记忆和节省法方面的例子。第11章提及了近年的神经影像研究。第12章不仅增加了当前脑成像方面的研究工作，还增加了动机与智力活动的研究成果。第13章收录了有关记忆的社会感染、社会服从以及内隐态度与行为方面的新近研究。第14章新增加的一项研究对经典的动物拥挤模型构成了挑战，另一项增加的研究对列车车厢中的拥挤行为进行了考察。第15章增加了有关动态视敏度的一项新研究，并简短讨论了对用于解释心理负荷的模型。对于以上这些变化，如果您和您的学生有什么意见和建议，请和我们联系。

UNDERSTANDING PSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH, Ninth Edition, takes an example-based approach to the fundamentals of research methodology. Organized by topic--such as research in human factors, learning, thinking, and problem solving--the text helps you connect the concepts of sound methodology with their practical applications. Because the authors use dozens of carefully selected real-world examples, you can see for yourself the issues and problems that can occur in conducting research. More importantly, you can develop a sense of how to anticipate and adjust for problems in your own research.

1974 film by Shūji Terayama

Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680) -- German Jesuit, occultist, polymath - was one of most curious figures in the history of science. He dabbled in all the mysteries of his time: the heavenly bodies, sound amplification, museology, botany, Asian languages, the pyramids of Egypt -- almost anything incompletely understood. Kircher coined the term electromagnetism, printed Sanskrit for the first time in a Western book, and built a famous museum collection. His wild, beautifully illustrated books are sometimes visionary, frequently wrong, and yet compelling documents in the history of ideas. They are being rediscovered in our own time. This volume contains new essays on Kircher and his world by leading historians and historians of science, including Stephen Jay Gould, Ingrid Rowland, Anthony Grafton, Daniel Stoltzenberg, Paula Findlen, and Barbara Stafford.-</P>

1960年代，在耶鲁大学任教的心理学家斯坦利·米尔格拉姆进行了一系列著名的实验，永远地改变了我们对个人道德和自由意志的看法。
实验的基本方法是：实验者招聘了40名来自不同职业的市民，告诉他们参加一项名为“惩罚对学生学习影响”的研究。他们充当“教师”，在实验者的指令下，当“学生”在学习中出现错误时，对“学生”施加强度和痛苦程度不断增加的电击。尽管学生以各种形式反抗，有26名受试者在实验者的命令下，坚持到最后，对“学生”施加了最强程度的电击。
米尔格拉姆改变实验的要素，做了19个独立实验，实验对象多达1000人。这一实验的设计与结果震惊了全球心理学界，德国、意大利、澳大利亚等国的心理学家在不同时期重复了这一实验，得到的结果基本相同。
在《对权威的服从：一次逼近人性真相的心理学实验》中，米尔格拉姆完整记录了这19个实验的设计、过程、结果以及部分受试者在实验中的反应，并对实验结果进行了深度分析，揭示了在等级社会中服从权威现象的社会及心理原因。
阅读这本《对权威的服从：一次逼近人性真相的心理学实验》，将引导我们每个人思考这样一个人生中可能会遇到的问题：如果上级的命令与我们的良心相冲突，我们该怎么办？
