KEY FEATURES

that engages students and contextualises social
psychology by applying theory to everyday life. ‘Try

written by former students, provide tips for final
year projects and show the reader where their
studies might take them beyond graduation.

‘What a clear, comprehensive, and authoritative introduction to the

Critical Psychology: Voices for Change
‘This is an excellent book... suitable both to newcomers to Critical
Psychology and to practitioners interested in the latest developments in
this important area of psychology. Those interested in the future of social
psychology have no further to look.’ - Derek Hook, Birkbeck College, UK
‘The authors provide a clear and useful guide to ideas surrounding critical
social psychology, introducing students to seemingly complex and novel
ways of thinking about issues raised within a typical undergraduate course in psychology.’ - David
Ormerod, University of Wolverhampton, UK
‘This book...has a highly
applied edge to it where
theory is linked to real
events and discussed, by
recognised scholars, in
the context of relevant
classic and current
empirical literature. This
is definitely a useful and
much-needed addition to the current literature.’ Magdalena Zawisza, University of Winchester, UK
Critical Social Psychology introduces students, in a straightforward, practical and accessible way, to the
key themes and debates arising from this fast-growing - and often complex - field. The authors contrast
mainstream experimental and critical understandings of social psychological topics, and place the
criticism and theory in a societal context.
Encompassing contemporary social problems and
cutting-edge research, international experts provide
a window into understanding the psychology behind
societal problems and why they develop, offering
crucial applications of psychological theory.

us develops differently.’ - Diane F. Halpern, McElwee Family Professor of

‘Statistics in Psychology
offers an excellent
gentle introduction to
the area of statistics [...]

Sensation and Perception
Sensorimotor Control and Learning

An Introduction to the Behavioral Neuroscience of Action
Worth Publishers
- A Macmillan Higher
Education Company
James Tresilian, University of Warwick, UK
‘James Tresilian has written
the most detailed, comprehensive text in
1.1.5 REPETITIONS OF THE SAME ACTION DO NOT NECESSARILY INVOLVE
REPEATING THE SAME MOVEMENTS OR FORCES
motor control and learning
– a must for those in the field.’ - Jane Clark,
Kinesiology Department, University of Maryland, USA
It may sometimes seem that repetitions of a particular action are performed in
exactly the same way: the outcome is achieved in the same way, so the concept of
motor equivalence is not needed. However, subjective impressions of this sort are
misleading; it is always the case that different performances in a sequence of
repetitions differ from one another, even though the differences may sometimes be
quite small. This was recognized early in the study of human motor behavior, as
illustrated by the following quotation, dating from 1932:
‘A valuable new addition in a field where up-to-date and comprehensive
texts suitable for the newcomer are few and far between.’ - Kielan
Yarrow, Department of Psychology, City University London, UK
Suppose I am making a stroke in a quick game, such as tennis or
cricket … When I make the stroke I do not, as a matter of fact,
produce something absolutely new, and I never merely repeat
something old … I may think that I reproduce exactly a series of textbook movements, but demonstrably I do not.xii
Sensorimotor Control and Learning is a landmark book in the growing
multidisciplinary area of human movement science that integrates findings
from neuroscience, kinesiology and psychology to present a state-of-the-art
account of how humans carry out goal-directed actions.
One of the earliest empirical studies of this phenomenon was conducted in the 1920s
by the Russian physiologist Nicolai Bernstein, and examined repetitive hammering of a
chisel by highly skilled blacksmiths.xiii Figure 1.2 shows three consecutive frames of
someone hammering; the swing of the hammer involves movement about the
shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints. Bernstein found that the trajectory of the hammerhead was fairly consistent from one swing to the next, and led to error-free striking of
the chisel. However, movements about the individual joints were much less consistent:
different strikes in the sequence of repetitions involved different arm movements.
Thus, there was motor equivalence: the same outcome (hammer-head trajectory
and striking the chisel) was achieved using (slightly) different movements of the limb
segments each time.
The textbook features over 600 high-quality illustrations, which are also available online for lecturers.

of this field. Outstanding art and interactive visual
demonstrations complete this engaging text.

A natural question to ask is: how can the same movement of the hammerhead be achieved if the movements of the limbs segments are all different? It is
difficult to provide a complete answer at this point, so we will consider a simpler
example that illustrates the basic idea. Imagine a task in which a person is required to
press on a pad with the index and middle fingers of their right hand so as to produce
a target force level of 30 Newtons (Figure 1.3, panel A).xiv The person could produce
30 Newtons by pressing with a force of 10 Newtons with the index finger and 20
Newtons with the middle finger, or using any other combination that adds up to 30.
This is represented graphically in panel B of Figure 1.3. The force exerted by the index
finger is plotted on the vertical axis and the force exerted by the middle finger on the

Lance Workman,

Christopher C. French, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK and Anna
Stone, University of East London, UK
‘A balanced, authoritative, and reader-friendly guide about unusual but
poorly understood psychological phenomena. There is nothing quite like
it in the field.’ - Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Saybrook University, USA, and
co-author, Demystifying Shamans and their World
This book examines
the history of thought
surrounding the
relationship between
Darwinism and the
behavioural sciences.
Accessible and
thought-provoking, it
demonstrates how and
why Darwinism remains
both illuminating and
controversial today.
‘Lots of people believe they have had strange experiences, such as
alien abduction or seeing heaven when near death. French and Stone,
in this meticulously researched and beautifully written book, help us
understand why. Anomalistic Psychology is a masterful, one-of-akind book that will interest anyone who cares about the sometimes
seemingly bizarre workings of the human mind.’ - Elizabeth F. Loftus,
Distinguished Professor, University of California, Irvine, USA
‘I think that students will find it an engaging and thoughtful book,
and because it contains relevant examples drawn from current cultural topics, they will find it
accessible and entertaining.’ - Nick Neave, Northumbria University, UK
From alien encounters to visions of ghosts, this introduction to anomalistic psychology explores the
fascinating area of the psychology of belief in paranormal phenomena. Co-authored by leading figures
in the field, it is an engaging and accessible textbook that considers empirical evidence from a variety of
psychological perspectives, including clinical, developmental and cognitive psychology.

the ideal structure and support to develop their own critical evaluation
of cognitive neuroscience.’ - Deborah Hall, Director, NIHR National
Biomedical Research Unit in Hearing, Nottingham, UK
‘Controversies in Cognitive Neuroscience clearly presents ideas and
findings from the cutting edge of the field. Slotnick’s provocative style
might ruffle a few feathers, but his lively account will engage and inform
both students and researchers in numerous areas of contemporary
cognitive neuroscience.’ - Daniel L. Schacter, William R. Kenan, Jr.
Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, USA
‘This book presents a series of debates on some of the current hot

‘Throughout this highly

Howe communicates
complex subjects with
magisterial clarity and
ease.’ - Bernard R. Moss,
Emeritus Professor of
Social Work Education and
Spirituality, Staffordshire
University, UK
Empathy is profoundly important for understanding
people’s feelings and behaviour. It is not only an essential
skill in conducting successful personal and working
relationships, it also helps us understand what makes
people moral and societies decent. David Howe invites
the reader on an illuminating journey of discovery into
how empathy was first conceptualised and how its
influence has steadily risen and spread. He captures its
growing significance in many fields, from evolutionary
psychology and brain science to moral philosophy and
mental health; and eloquently explains its importance to
child development, intimate relationships, therapy, the
creative arts, neurology and ethics.

Studies in the Psychosocial
Psychosocial Studies seeks to investigate the ways in which psychic and social processes demand to be understood as always implicated in each other, as mutually constitutive, co-produced, or abstracted levels of a
single dialectical process. As such it can be understood as an interdisciplinary field in search of transdisciplinary objects of knowledge. Psychosocial Studies is also distinguished by its emphasis on affect, the irrational and
unconscious processes, often, but not necessarily, understood psychoanalytically.
Studies in the Psychosocial aims to foster the development of this field by publishing high quality and innovative monographs and edited collections. The series welcomes submissions from a range of theoretical
perspectives and disciplinary orientations, including sociology, social and critical psychology, political science, postcolonial studies, feminist studies, queer studies, management and organization studies, cultural and
media studies and psychoanalysis. However, in keeping with the inter- or transdisciplinary character of psychosocial analysis, books in the series will generally pass beyond their points of origin to generate concepts,
understandings and forms of investigation that are distinctively psychosocial in character.
