Afasias, Apraxias, Agnosias
Luis Barraquer-Bordas
Barraquer-Bordas, L. Afasias, apraxias, agnosias. Barcelona: Ediciones Toray, 1976
Professor Barraquer has produced an elementary textbook of disorders of the higher functions which gives a good general survey of current thinking. It draws quite widely on the publications of authors from many countries although especially on the modern French School. It will serve as an excellent introduction to this area for the Spanish-speaking medical student or physician in training. Indeed it is one of the best short volumes on this group of topics available today and it is a pity that it is not available in English.

Cognition and Categorization
Eleanor Rosch and Barbara B. Lloyd
Cognition and categorization /edited by Rosch, E. and Lloyd, B., 1978
The papers in this book derive from a 1976 meeting sponsored by the Social Science Research Council to discuss the nature and principles of category formation. Part I contains 3 discussions of real-world categories, assuming that the people creating and using the systems can judge similarities between stimuli, perceive and process the attributes of a stimulus, and learn. Part II contains discussions of these 3 abilities, presenting a new theoretical approach to similarity, in which objects are viewed as collections of features, and similarity as a feature-matching process. This theory predicts (a) basic levels of abstraction where the ratio of common to distinctive features is maximized and (b) the existence of reference items or category prototypes by which other items are judged. Part III studies concepts of representation that are basic to the previous discussions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

Remembering: A Study in Experimental and Social Psychology
Frederic Bartlett
Bartlett, F. Remembering: A Study in Experimental and Social Psychology. Cambridge University Press, 1967
In his major work, Remembering: A Study in Experimental and Social Psychology (1932), Bartlett advanced the concept that memories of past events and experiences are actually mental reconstructions that are colored by cultural attitudes and personal habits, rather than being direct recollections of observations made at the time. In experiments beginning in 1914, Bartlett showed that very little of an event is actually perceived at the time of its occurrence but that, in reconstructing the memory, gaps in observation or perception are filled in with the aid of previous experiences. A later work, Thinking: An Experimental and Social Study (1958), broke no new theoretical ground but added observations on the social character of human thinking.
