The book is every bit as worthwhile as her earlier books with Hans Kreitler and deserves a wide readership.... There are 22 chapters by authors from a variety of countries, representing a truly international spectrum of scholarship.... there is something for everyone here. Most of the chapters are quite brief, offering an introduction to a particular aspect of the cognition–motivation interface. It is not possible to select some chapters that are more useful than others. All are presented at a high level and for the most part are quite readable.\"  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--Dr. John Benjafield, professor emeritus at Brock University, PsycCRITIQUES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThis collection examines the many internal and external factors affecting cognitive processes. Editor Shulamith Kreitler brings together a wide range of international contributors to produce an outstanding assessment of recent research in the field. These contributions go beyond the standard approach of examining the effects of motivation and emotion to consider the contextual factors that may influence cognition. These broad and varied factors include personality, genetics, mental health, biological evolution, culture and social context. By contextualizing cognition, this volume draws out the practical applications of theoretical cognitive research while bringing separate areas of scholarship into meaningful dialogue.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword Jerome Bruner\u003cbr\u003e Introduction Shulamith Kreitler\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
