Perceptual experience emerges from neural computations. Unconscious Memory Representations in Perception focuses on the role of implicit (non-conscious) memories in processing sensory information. Making sense of the wealth of information arriving at our senses requires implicit memories, which represent environmental regularities, contingencies of the sensory input, as well as general contextual knowledge. Recent findings and theories in cognitive and computational neuroscience provided new insights into the structure and contents of implicit memory representations. The chapters of this book examine implicit memories both in relatively simple situations, such as perceiving auditory and visual objects, as well as in high‑level cognitive functions, such as speech and music perception and aesthetic experience. By nature, implicit memories cannot be directly studied with behavioral methods. Therefore, a large part of the evidence reviewed was obtained in neuroscientific studies. Readers with limited experience in neuroscience will find information about the most commonly used techniques in the appendix of this volume. (Series B).

Das Buch befasst sich mit einem besonders auffälligen kulturellen Phänomen: Jeder der in Frankreich zu tun hat, wird mit der dort vorherrschenden indirekten Form der Kommunikation konfrontiert.Insbesondere Deutschen fällt aufgrund ihrer ganz anders gearteten Art und Weise des Umgangs und Sprechens auf, dass man in unserem Nachbarland neben der Beherrschung der Sprache insbesondere die Kunst des Impliziten beherrschen muss, um ins Gespräch zu kommen.Nachgegangen wird der Frage, in welcher Zeit und aus welchen Gründen sich die indirekte Kommunikation in Frankreich als Habitus herausgebildet und verfestigt hat. Gezeigt wird, wie die Literatur über die Kunst des Impliziten nachdenkt und welche Rolle diese Kunst in der kulturellen Ausnahmestellung (,exception culturelle') Frankreichs in Europa einnimmt, die das Land sich seit Jahrhunderten zugute hält. Anhand von herausragenden Beispielen der französischen Literatur vom 16. bis zum 21. Jahrhundert werden die Reflexionen über die indirekte Form des Sprechen analysiert.Das Buch ist aus einer mehrfach gehaltenen Vorlesung zur Frage der Interkulturalität in der deutsch-französischen Begegnung hervorgegangen. Es gehört in die Rubrik einer interkulturellen Literaturgeschichte.

Up to date the scientific discussion about how frequency and regularity of physical activity can be increased is dominated by social-cognitive models. However, increasing evidence suggests that emotions and feelings have greater influence on physical activity than originally assumed (Rhodes, Fiala, & Conner, 2009). Generally speaking, humans possess an evaluative system with a basic action tendency to approach pleasurable events and to avoid aversive ones (Cacioppo & Berntson, 1999). Evaluative responses to a behavior and associated emotional states may influence a decision regarding whether or not to repeat being physically active. Generally, behavior associated with positive evaluations has a higher probability of being repeated than behaviors without such an association. On the contrary, an association with negative evaluations tends to decrease the probability of repeating to be physically active. Hence, evaluative responses to physical activity or the related situation can be an important aspect in the process of physical activity maintenance (McAuley et al., 2007). Several social-cognitive models of behavior change and maintenance were recently extended to take the influence of affective responses into account, in a way that variables already included in the models (e.g. outcome expectancies or attitudes) were more clearly articulated into their cognitive and affective components. For example, with regard to Social Cognitive Theory, Gellert, Ziegelmann and Schwarzer (2012) proposed to distinguish between affective and health-related outcome expectancies, and in the Theory of Planned Behavior, researchers suggested to differentiate between cognitive and affective attitudes (Lawton, Conner, & McEachan, 2009). The results of these and other studies suggest that affective components make a unique contribution to the explanation of the physical activity behavior (Brand, 2006). Other examples come from social cognition research, where it was shown that automatic evaluative responses are part of our everyday life and that they decisively influence health behavior (Hofmann, Friese, & Wiers, 2008). Accordingly, there is evidence that people who exercise regulary hold more positive automatic evaluations with exercise than non-exercisers (Bluemke, Brand, Schweizer, & Kahlert, 2010). Although significant progress has been made in showing that evaluative responses to physical activity and associated emotional states are important predictors of physical activity underlying psychological processes are far from being fully understood. Some important issues still remain to be resolved. Which role play affective states compared to concrete emotions when influencing physical activity? How do affective states and emotions interact with cognitive variables such as intentions? Are evaluative processes before, during or after physical activity important to predict future physical activity? Do negative and positive evaluations interact antagonistically or rather synergistically when physical activity as a new behavior shall be adopted? Future research will help us to resolve these and a lot of other so far unresolved issues.
