{"product_id":"2940012731944","title":"Scientific Introspection: A Method For Investigating the Mind","description":"Scientific Introspection calls for psychologists to use introspection to investigate the mind.  What researchers do now is study the brain, and behavior, then from that, try to guess what the mind must be like.  But why guess?  Remarkably, we happen to have the ability to look directly into the workings of our own minds: introspection.  As far as we know, we are the only animal on the planet that can do that.  It is foolish not to use this amazing gift. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScientific Introspection reviews early efforts to use introspection, to see where they went wrong, and what they got right. The result is a new analysis of how introspection works, and a basis for studying the mind in a way that parallels the best principles of science and makes full use of our native ability to introspect.     \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScientific Introspection is an adjunct to traditional cognitive psychology and cognitive neurophysiology. Thoughts weigh nothing; ideas take up no space.  The only possible way to observe ideas is through introspection.  Scientific Introspection can provide the missing piece of the equation so we can finally have a scientific understanding of the mind.      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA unique feature of this book is a demonstration – a detailed description of applied Scientific Introspection.  The dedicated reader can replicate the procedure and confirm or disconfirm the findings for himself or herself. The demonstration is designed to show how Scientific Introspection could be used as a shared investigative tool to eventually produce a body of consensus findings, as is done in science.","brand":"Paperless Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069483827440,"sku":"2940012731944","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012731944_p0.jpg?v=1763571815","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012731944","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
