On-line Cognition in Person Perception

<p>The contributors to this collection focus on the cognitive processes that take place during the initial acquisition of information about others (on-line processes) rather than later when memory processes begin playing a dominant role (memory-based processes). Utilizing the methods and concepts of social cognition the book illustrates how the study of on-line cognition can further our understanding of person perception. <i>On-Line Cognition in Person Perception</i> also examines the special cognitive dynamics that are associated with such processes within the domain of social perception.</p>
