Thinking Time: A Multidisciplinary Perspective on Time (Swiss Monographs in Psychology)

"Time" has been much less widely studied in psychology and related disciplines than has "space." This book offers theoretical and empirical insights into the study of time-related perception, memory, identity, learning, and reasoning. With carefully selected chapters by a truly international and interdisciplinary team of authors, it provides an understanding of time and mind that goes beyond psychophysiology and experimental psychology to encompass wider phenomena, both social and educational. By providing a philosophical basis for understanding how the mind "grasps" the concept of time and the timing of behavior in cultural context, this unique book should help promote a cross-fertilization of research on this important dimension, which is so often neglected in cognitive and sociocultural research.
