Informationen zum Autor Dr. Markus Raab is Head of the Institute of Psychology at the German Sport University and Head of the Performance Psychology Department. Additionally, he is Research Professor of Psychology at London South Bank University, UK. He obtained his MSc in Sport Science and PhDs in Movement Science and Cognitive Psychology. The main focus of the research programme in performance psychology is on judgement and decision making in sports, health and peak performance. He favours a simple heuristic approach and an embodied cognition approach to understanding the interaction of sensorimotor and cognitive behaviour from a psychological perspective. Dr. Raab brings more than two decades of experience to the project and co-edited the first edition of Elsevier’s Performance Psychology. Klappentext This volume investigates the implications of how our brain directs our movements on decision making. An extensive body of knowledge in chapters from international experts is presented as well as integrative group reports discussing new directions for future research. The understanding of how people make decisions is of central interest to experts working in fields such as psychology, economics, movement science, cognitive neuroscience, neuroinformatics, robotics, and sport science. For the first time the current volume provides a multidisciplinary overview of how action and cognition are integrated in the planning of and decisions about action. Zusammenfassung Focuses on the interplay of mind and motion - the bidirectional link between thought and action. This book investigates the implications that this coupling has for decision making.
