Este libro es una exposición vinculada entre las áreas de nutrición y psicología, el cual aborda el tema del sobrepeso y la obesidad en los individuos, por lo que es una herramienta indispensable para los especialistas que aspiran a hacer un cambio físico y emocional favorable, ya que, a pesar de los avances tecnológicos y sociales –que han permitido el mejoramiento de la calidad de vida y la prolongación de ésta—, paralelamente se han venido incrementando las expectativas del combate a la obesidad, como también del sobrepeso, debido a que las cifras –sobre este problema salubre— parecen aumentar de manera preocupante para los epidemiólogos que monitorean los riesgos mundiales.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Beck Diet Solution. Most diet programmes work at first. We lose a few pounds in a few weeks, but then life happens and the bad habits and the weight return. In this invaluable book, Judith Beck PhD offers the solution to break free from these common diet traps and keep the weight off for life. Judith Beck explains that when it comes to losing weight, it's not just about what we eat – it's also about how we think. To consistently eat differently, we must learn to think differently. Diets fail us because they don't offer effective strategies for overcoming the common traps – emotional eating, social pressure, dining out – that can derail us. Now, she and her daughter, Deborah Beck Busis, share the techniques they have successfully used with thousands of clients, revealing exactly how to overcome the thoughts and behaviours that have been holding you back. With The Diet Trap Solution, readers on any diet can learn to identify their specific diet traps, prepare for their personal triggers and create action plans to strengthen their 'resistance muscle' – making losing weight easy, sustainable and enjoyable.

Visual information processing in humans with intellectual disabilities and in animals is presented, for conceptual and methodological reasons. Much of the evolutionary path of higher primate species has involved the development of sophisticated visual systems that interact with complex, higher-order cognitive processes. Key questions in cognitive science address the manner in which the environment is represented by the organism, and thus relate to how knowledge about the world is gleaned, with implications for theories of action and decision making. Finally, it has become apparent that the distinction between perceptual and cognitive processes is not always a clear one, and that these processes interact in critical ways in underlying complex behavioral repertoires. Consistent with the emphasis in this series on individual differences, both typical and atypical development are explored here. Philosophical approaches to visualism are also presented. Chapters have import both for basic science and for the development of applications.
