Memories, Thoughts, and Emotions: Essays in Honor of George Mandler

by William Kessen (Editor), Andrew Ortony (Editor), Fergus Craik (Editor)

Overview

For the past forty years, the ideas and findings of George Mandler -- and George Mandler himself -- have been highly influential throughout the field of experimental psychology. Not only has he helped to advance the study of cognition and emotion in many ways, but he also offered assistance and encouragement to numerous young researchers who may expand on the knowledge acquired thus far. The editors of this festschrift feel that one of the greatest strengths of Mandler's work is the blend of European theorizing and American empiricism. This volume contains contributions from friends and colleagues who have been influenced in one way or another by this accomplished psychologist.

Editorial Reviews

"As with other festschrifts that have recently been published in cognitive science...Memories, Thoughts and Emotions makes multiple contributions to the field....We gain a greater understanding of the progressive impact Mandler has had on the field of cognitive science and why his ideas will continue to guide research in the future."
