Description

`An excellent example of an up-to-date text, and well worth exploring... detailed and thorough' - Physiotherapy `The author has done an outstanding job of presenting in a coherent way what has become a very diverse and sometimes theoretically dense field of psychology... there's an excellent balance between anecdote, empirical research and theoretical stories' - Ira Fischler, University of Florida, Gainsville The paperback edition of this highly successful textbook provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to cognitive psychology. Drawing together diverse theoretical strands - from cognitive development to neuroscience - Cognitive Psychology offers a coherent and integrated guide to the field. The book is divided into clear sections mapping out the central domains of research. These include basic cognitive operations such as perception, attention and memory, followed by sections on knowledge and skill, language, thinking and intelligence, and consciousness. Authoritative and engagingly written, Cognitive Psychology offers a thorough overview of this important field. The text is enhanced by many helpful features including discussion boxes, clear chapter summaries and checklists as well as suggestions for further reading.
