Experimental Approaches to Cognitive and Behavioral Processes in Psychology

"This book; It consists of studies that uniquely address issues that have emerged as a result of several centuries of theoretical and empirical discoveries, contradictions and even tides in the history of psychology. The articles in the book show how wide the conceptualization level of psychology is, from the gene/environment interaction that largely determines our lives to the perception in the social environment. In addition, the book covers techniques ranging from animal models to MRI and EEG, and explains how and why psychology research has benefited from these methods. Apart from this scope and original content, another aspect that makes this book valuable is that it is in Turkish. Unfortunately, the dominance of English and its universality as the language of science brings with it the publication and dissemination of most of the researches in this language. Although the existence and prevalence of a lingua franca is important because it enables all scientists in the world to agree with each other, it is obvious that Turkish must be a scientific language and a means of communication. For this reason, I hope that this book will be an encouraging factor for young scientists to bring their ideas and products into our language.”
