This handbook provides a novel and stimulating integration of work on imagination and mental simulation from a variety of perspectives. It is the first broad-based volume to integrate specific sub-areas such as mental imagery, imagination , thought flow, narrative transportation, fantasizing and counterfactual thinking, which have, until now, been treated by researchers as disparate and orthogonal lines of inquiry. As such, the volume enlightens psychologists to the notion that a wide range of mental simulation phenomena may actually share a commonality of underlying processes.

This book combines theoretical understanding with a practical model of plagiarism, and aims to explain why and how plagiarism developed. It offers a new way to conceptualize plagiarism and provides a framework for professionals dealing with plagiarism in higher education.
The author presents a model of plagiarism, called the plagiarism continuum, which usefully informs discussion and direction of plagiarism management in most educational settings. The model was developed from a cross-disciplinary examination of plagiarism with a particular focus on understanding how educators and students perceive and respond to issues of plagiarism. The book examines current teaching approaches in light of issues surrounding plagiarism, particularly internet plagiarism. This book challenges higher education educators, managers and policy-makers to examine their own beliefs and practices in managing the phenomenon of plagiarism in academic writing. |
