Inhaltsangabe

A synthesis of cognitive psychology at its best, this thought-provoking and fascinating survey will be a vital resource for students. The material on particular topics - for example, neurocognition - is written at a level accessible to students with a background in general psychology.

Topics covered include: sensation and perception; attention; speaking and listening; problem solving; and thinking. Chapters integrate contributions from developmental psychology and neuroscience to the area under discussion - for example, relevant details of brain structure are provided to clarify language use. Each chapter thus provides readers with a comprehensive view of the background, theory and research.

Each chapter concludes with a summary, key terms and recommended readings.
