# Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience/OverallStructure

## OverallStructure

Our workgroup OverallStructure tries to work out this project of
Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience by **helping** people
how to do things right and remind them on the **laws** that we are all
restricted to when we publish. We try to give, the groups that work on
this book, useful help, inspiration and to remind them on certain
**dead-lines**. Especially at the end we are going to put the chapters
together as **one piece**, to make this a book worth being published and
being read.

Working voltage is necessary for a **workflow** of our project to
succeed. A workflow needs to be split up in sub-units. These
**subunits** fill up the work schedule which is necessary to keep track
of the workload and to stay in the timeframe. Here it is important to
delegate work to different groups and to have us that has an overlook
about what needs to be done and when it is due.

OverallStructure works with the group **CrossReferences** closely
together. This is required, because otherwise there is the possibility,
that we work counterproductive or that we work parallelly on the same
thing. Therefor our groups need to find out together what our priorities
are and how to put this into practice.

**Social skills** is a highly recommended to work in this group.
Remembering and criticizing people is risky field. Our comments need to
be productive and not to be offensive. We need close interaction with
everybody working on this project, just by that it is possible for us to
do the required work. We depend on the different groups and they depend
on us. Therefor we need some empathy for the nature of humans.

Hence we expect of people working on this project and especially of
ourselves:

-   We estimate people to have critical faculties, are able of some kind
    of self-reflection, self-discipline and tolerance.
-   In terms of working in groups, we anticipate everyone to be
    team-oriented, to cooperate with us and insight of the group, to be
    discountable, open to use communication skills and we hope to have
    at least one person in each group with some kind of
    leader-qualities.

OverallStructure emphasizes very much **group-work**. Working in groups
has a lot of advantages: It makes a project being more productive and
more flexible. Groups always optimize themselves, because each member of
the group enhances the work of the others resulting in improved
work-results. Each member harvest their own individuality and their own
creativity. A group contains a special selfcheck, each member not
cooperating get in some ways punished by the rest of the group.

Paraphrasing this we hope to find people being committed to this
project. Our group is a very challenging and implies responsibility from
both sides for this project to work and to succeed.
