Cognitive psychology

Cognitive processes enable us to experience the world around us: to recognise a friendly face in a crowd, to communicate our passions, to recall memories from the past. When these processes stop working, it can turn friends into strangers, render speech impossible, and make history a confusion of truth and lies. <em>Cognitive Psychology, Second Edition</em> unravels these complex ideas, introducing the concepts behind them and looking at how techniques, such as neuroimaging, can provide answers to questions that may at first seem unanswerable. <br><br>The chapters - covering a broad range of topics, including attention, perception, and neuropsychiatry - are written to inspire students, and come complete with helpful resources, including in-chapter summaries to consolidate learning, 'Activity' boxes to help students engage in the content, and 'Research study' boxes to encourage an awareness of scientific method. <br><br>With chapters written by experts in their fields and edited by professors with a wealth of experience in teaching and learning, <em>Cognitive Psychology, Second Edition</em> is the ideal course companion for all psychology students. <br><br><strong>The Online Resource Centre to accompany </strong><strong><em>Cognitive Psychology, Second Edition</em></strong><strong> includes:</strong><br><br><strong>For lecturers:</strong><br>DT Figures from the book available to download.<br>DT A text bank of multiple choice questions.<br>DT Chapters from the Methods Companion to the first edition.<br><br><strong>For students:</strong><br>DT Software simulations.<br>DT A flashcard glossary.<br>
