Dictionary of Biological Psychology by Winn, PhilipCall Number: REF QP360 .D52 2001
ISBN: 0415136067
Publication Date: 2001
Claiming not to advocate the approach, the dictionary reflects the increasing tendency over the past two decades for both psychologists and neurologists to associate psychological processes such as perception, memory, and attention with underlying the brain system and processes. Contributors in both fields, almost exclusively from the English-speaking world, define the medical terms that have found their way to common use in psychology. They have undergraduates in mind as their primary readers, but acknowledge that graduates and active research scientists may find helpful information as well. The articles, most signed, are highly cross-referenced, mitigating the lack of an index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
