Greetings all, I received an invitation of a book of collected papers "Trends in Cognitive Psychology Research". I really don't know what is precisely Cognitive Psychology (at least I don't think I have done something in it), but probably someone might be interested in it...
Also I don't know if anyone has ever heard of these publishers... http://www.novapublishers.com Carlos Gershenson... Centrum Leo Apostel, Vrije Universiteit Brussel Krijgskundestraat 33.
