The Wandering Mind

What the Brain Does When You're Not Looking

de Michael C Corballis ...

While psychologists write bestsellers about humans' smarter side - language, cognition, consciousness - and self-help gurus harangue us to be attentive and mindful, we all know that much of the time our minds are just goofing off. So what does the brain do when you're not looking? Rooted in neuroscience, psychology and evolutionary biology but written with Corballis' signature wit and wisdom, The ... Leer más

The Truth about Language

What It Is and Where It Came From

de Michael C. Corballis ...

Evolutionary science has long viewed language as, basically, a fortunate accident—a crossing of wires that happened to be extraordinarily useful, setting humans apart from other animals and onto a trajectory that would see their brains (and the products of those brains) become increasingly complex.But as Michael C. Corballis shows in The Truth about Language, it's time to reconsider those ... Leer más

The Truth About Language

What it is and Where it came from

de Michael C Corballis ...

From God to Noam Chomsky, many have suggested that language arose suddenly in a way that cannot be explained through ordinary evolutionary processes. Corballis argues otherwise. He uncovers the precursors of language in the ability of mice and other animals to engage in 'mental time travel', the use of gesture by apes, the capacity of chimpanzees to step into the shoes (or paws) of others, and the ...

The Origins of Human Language, Thought, and Civilization - Updated Edition

de Michael C. Corballis ...

A groundbreaking theory of what makes the human mind uniqueThe Recursive Mind challenges the commonly held notion that language is what makes us uniquely human. In this compelling book, Michael Corballis argues that what distinguishes us in the animal kingdom is our capacity for recursion: the ability to embed our thoughts within other thoughts.

The Psychology of Left and Right

de Michael C. Corballis, Ivan L. Beale ...

Series series Psychology Revivals
Originally published in 1976, this title deals with the problem of how we tell left from right. The authors argue that the ability to tell left from right depends ultimately on a bodily asymmetry, such as preference for one or the other hand, or dominance of one side of the brain. This has implications for child development, reading disability, navigation, art, and culture. ... Leer más

The Origins of Language

A groundbreaking theory of how language arose from primate gesturesIt is often said that speech is what distinguishes us from other animals. But are we all talk? What if language was bequeathed to us not by word of mouth, but as a hand-me-down?The notion that language evolved not from animal cries but from manual and facial gestures—that, for most of human history, actions have spoken louder than ...

Cosa fa il cervello quando siamo distratti

de Michael C. Corballis ...

Vi è mai capitato, a scuola o durante una riunione, di guardare con occhi sognanti fuori dalla finestra? Se gli altri se ne fossero accorti, avreste comunque potuto replicare che non c’era nulla di strano nel vostro comportamento, poiché la scienza insegna che la nostra mente divaga per circa metà del tempo. È un problema? Michael Corballis sostiene di no. Gli studi più recenti indicano che il ... Leer más
