Beskrivning
Judgment, Decision-Making, and Embodied Choices introduces a new concept of embodied choices which take sensorimotor experiences into account when limited time and resources forces a person to make a quick decision. This book combines areas of cognitive psychology and movement science, presenting an integrative approach to understanding human functioning in everyday scenarios. This is the first book focusing on the role of the gut as a second brain, introducing the link to risky behavior. The book's author engages readers by providing real-life experiences and scenarios connecting theory to practice.

  • Discusses the role of gut feelings and the brain-gut behavior connection
  • Demonstrates that behavior influences decision and other people's perceptions about mood or character
  • Includes research on medical decisions and shopping decisions
  • Illustrates how to train embodied choices

Recensioner i media

"This is a marvellous piece of work. Markus Raab has created a new way of thinking about Judgment and Decision Making by seriously considering the role of embodied choices. His ideas integrate knowledge from both cognitive psychology and movement science, and help to shed light on important concepts such as "gut feelings". The chapters span topics such as intuitive decisions athletes make in milliseconds to life-changing decisions such as whom to marry. The book is written in plain language and provides fascinating studies and real examples that can be useful when the readers are considering their own choices." --Michael Bar-Eli, Professor, University of Negev, Israel"This is an entertaining and timely overview on how our bodies influence our reasoning. Both enthusiastically and approachably written, this book is a perfect introduction to the field of embodied cognition. Covering a wide range of topics between lab and life, a seasoned scientist explains and illustrates the deep connection between body and mind." --Martin Fischer, Psychology Department, University Potsdam, Germany
