Self-Awareness and Cognition: New Perspectives from Cognitive Sciences

This book seeks to help bridge the divide between the various theoretical definitions of self-awareness and the empirical study of the concept in fields such as experimental cognitive sciences and clinical neuroscience.To do so, it brings together theoretical, methodological and empirical contributions that discuss self-awareness in three specific domains of cognitive sciences: methods for assessing self-awareness; theoretical and ethical implications of self-awareness in clinical settings; and the repercussion of re-evaluating self-awareness within different cognitive theoretical models. Chapters in the first part of the book address how different methodological approaches for the study of self-awareness may lead to enhanced discussions of cognitive manifestations regarding self-processes.This part deals with the intersection between behavior, phenomenal awareness and cognitive traits associated with human self-process within experimental and psychological assessment, including notes
