| Summary |
This sixth edition has been substantially updated and restructured in line with new developments in cognitive psychology and the way it is studied at undergraduate level. In particular it focuses on cognitive neuroscience. Previous editions have established this best-selling student handbook as THE cognitive psychology textbook of choice, both for its academic rigour and its accessibility. This sixth edition continues this tradition. It has been substantially updated and revised to reflect new developments in the field (especially within cognitive neuroscience). Traditional approaches are combined with the cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience approach to create a comprehensive, coherent and totally up-to-date overview of all the main fields in cognitive psychology |
