Back Cover Copy
Cognitive Psychology: Applying the Science of the Mind combines clear yet rigorous descriptions of key empirical findings and theoretical principles with real-world examples, strong learning pedagogy, and a straightforward organization. Engagingly written, the text weaves five empirical threads –Neuroscience, Consciousness, Development, Individual Differences, and Culture – throughout the text to help students integrate the material.
New to the Second Edition:
-
The book has been thoroughly updated, with much more discussion of and reference to studies that have been conducted in the past five years.
-
In line with the continuing explosion of cognitive neuroscience in recent years, the authors have included more studies relating cognition to brain function.
-
In addition, they have more closely tied discussion to the research themes of consciousness, culture, individual differences, and development.
-
Many chapters have been reworked considerably, most notably those on perceptual processing, attention and working memory, and language.
Reader Reviews
This review is from: Cognitive Psychology: Applying the Science of the Mind (Hardcover)
This is an excellent cognitive text. There is no pleasing the less-motivated student. I highly recommend this as an excellent text on memory.
