Psychology of learning and motivation: moral judgment and decision making

The Psychology of Learning and Motivation series publishes empirical and theoretical contributions in cognitive and experimental psychology, ranging from classical and instrumental conditioning to complex learning and problem solving. Volume 50 is a thematic volume featuring interdisciplinary articles on the topic of moral cognition and decision making. The explosion of research on moral cognition emerging from a variety of different fields: social psychology, judgment and decision making, and even philosophy make this volume extremely timely. This book enables the reader to see how disparate intellectual frameworkscan all be brought to bear on a common set of problems. This volume will serve cognitive scientists who want to know more about how cognitive processes operate in the social and moral realms, and how moral cognition may be differentiated from other forms of social reasoning.
