PsycINFO provides access to international literature in psychology and related disciplines. Unrivaled in its depth of psychological coverage and respected worldwide for its high quality, the database is enriched with literature from an array of disciplines related to psychology such as psychiatry, education, business, medicine, nursing, pharmacology, law, linguistics, and social work. Nearly all records contain nonevaluative summaries, and all records from 1967 to the present are indexed using the Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms.
Practitioners, researchers, and students working in all areas of psychology, the behavioral sciences, and other related disciplines. PsycINFO includes psychological research and its applications; the database is of prime relevance to many industries and research establishments worldwide. The sources include over 1,800 professional journals, chapters, books, reports, theses and dissertations, published internationally. Additionally, there are more than 8 million cited references in 185,000 journal articles, books, and book chapters.
PsycINFO is a department of the American Psychological Association (APA) dedicated to creating products that make it easier for researchers to locate psychological literature relevant to their research topics. PsycINFO staff members locate and summarize psychologically relevant documents from a wide range of disciplines, and disseminate these summaries in forms suited to easy access and retrieval.br>

| Abstract |
Reviews Uttal's book (see record ( 2001-18884-000),
which examines whether or not psychological processes can be localized
in the brain The book covers the history of efforts to localize cognitive
processes in the brain, techniques that have been used to derive brain-behavior
research, cognitive taxonomies, and cognitive neuroscience approaches
using functional neuroimaging. The reviewers express disagreement with
some of the author's more extreme viewpoints, and suggest that a naive
reader may develop a nearsighted view of the functional neuroimaging enterprise
becuause of some of the author's more extreme arguments; however, they
suggest that the book has inspired discussion about what the limitations
are of the different techniques used in cognitive neuroscience. (PsycINFO

| PsycINFO classifications
describe broad areas of the field of psychology.
Each includes a 4-digit code that, when sorted
numerically, orders the categories hierarchically
by subject area. All PsycINFO records are classified
according to the most specific category applicable.
The classification scheme is shown below.
To search for a specific category, use either
the word(s) or the code, e.g.:
cl=(clinical psychology testing)
CL=2224
To search for everything in a hierarchy, truncate
the code, e.g.: CL=22*
(Note, for very large hierarchies, truncating
may slow the search process.)

References,
RE=
Lists references published with journal articles, books,
and book chapters.
Comprehensive coverage of cited references began in
2001, but references appear from 1988 on. Additional
retrospective references will be added to the database
as they become available. All published references are
included in the PsycINFO record, except those not referring
to publications, those in non-Roman alphabets, and those
that cause the character limit of PsycINFO records to
be exceeded.
The references appear in APA-style format, and therefore
can be searched for any information that would be included
in that particular citation style.
Search for an author or authors, e.g.: re=(Ko)
Search for a publication year, e.g.: re=(1989)
Search for a specific publication, e.g.: re=(Behavioral
Neuroscience)
Search for a publisher, e.g.: re=(Cambridge University
Press)
When constructing your search strategy, please keep
in mind the large size of the references field and the
numerous citations that one references field could possibly
contain. A search for a specific author and publication
year in the references field could easily retrieve false
hits. For example, a search for re=(costa and 1985)
could retrieve the name Costa from citation number
two and the 1985 publication date from citation number
twelve.
The use of proximity
operators in your search strategy can help to eliminate
false hits. Incorporate proximity operators into your
search strategy to ensure that a search containing two
or more separate data elements only retrieves relevant
citations, e.g.: re=(Costa) within 12 (1985)
Note: Since the references field can be quite large,
it may take a longer period of time for your search
results to be retrieved. To eliminate the references
field from your search results, select "Full Record
- Omit Refs" from the drop-down box of viewing formats
in either the Quick Search or the Advanced Search.
Reviewed
Work, RV=
Contains information of a reviewed item in the PsycINFO
record. This field may contain the reviewed item's author(s),
title, source, publication year, and more. Appears in
journal article records only.
Supplemental
Data, SD=
Contains supplemental data or other information found
either appended to the print source or available on
the Internet. May appear for all publication types.
Some supplemental data values may be appended with "Available"
or "Internet Available."
Data types include the following:
3-D Modeling Images
Appendixes
Audio
Data Sets
DVD/CD
Tables and Figures
Web Sites
Video
Workbook/Study Guide
Other
Table
of Contents, TB=
The Table of Contents field contains the chapter title,
chapter author(s), and chapter pagination within a book
or encyclopedia record. Chapters listed in the Table
of Contents which are also separately indexed in the
PsycINFO database will have the chapter title hyperlinked
to that individual chapter record. To go to an individual
chapter record, simply click on the hyperlinked title.
The Table of Contents appears only with Book, Authored
Book, Edited Book and Encyclopedia publication types.
Tests
& Measures, TM=
Contains the names of published tests and measures
mentioned in the source document. This field may contain
multiple tests or measures.
To search for a record containing a particular test
or measure, enter the test or measure name, e.g.:
tm=(wechsler intelligence scale for children)
