He offers the most comprehensive perspective yet on how science came to be possible in our species and on the important role of psychological forces in an individual's development of scientific interest, talent, and creativity. Without a psychological perspective, Feist argues, we cannot fully understand the development of scientific thinking or scientific genius. The author explores the major subdisciplines within psychology as well as allied areas, including biological neuroscience and developmental, cognitive, personality, and social psychology, to show how each sheds light on how scientific thinking, interest, and talent arise. He assesses which elements of scientific thinking have their origin in evolved mental mechanisms and considers how humans may have developed the highly sophisticated scientific fields we know today. In his fascinating and authoritative book, Feist deals thoughtfully with the mysteries of the human mind and convincingly argues that the creation of the psychology of science as a distinct discipline is essential to deeper understanding of human thought processes. 606 $aClassification of sciences 606 $aScience$xPsychological aspects 606 $aScience and psychology 615 0$aClassification of sciences. 615 0$aScience$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aScience and psychology. 676 $a501/.2 686 $aCM 2200$2rvk 700 $aFeist$b Gregory J$01808676 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953779103321 996 $aThe psychology of science and the origins of the scientific mind$94359055 997 $aUNINA
