Inhaltsangabe
An overview of the major theories and experimental findings in the field of cognition is provided in this work, which also applies them to such topics as short-term and long-term memory, problem solving, decision making, attention, and comprehension. Cognition is related to applied topics such as accident rates, jury instruction, speed reading, and learning vocabulary. The book also includes media boxes featuring newspaper and magazine articles that relate the chapter material to familiar situations and integrates material (applications, theories, neuroscience, etc.) throughout rather than compartmentalizing this information in separate chapters.
