Cognitive psychology (3rd ed )
Auteurs : ROBINSON-RIEGLER Bridget, ROBINSON-RIEGLER Gregory L.
Cognitive Psychology: Applying the Science of the Mindcombines clear yet rigorous descriptions of key empirical findings and theoretical principles with frequent real-world examples, strong learning pedagogy, and a straightforward organization.
For undergraduate courses in cognitive psychology.
Engagingly written, the text weaves five empirical threads - neuroscience, consciousness, individual differences, development, and culture - throughout the text to help students integrate the material. The text's organization offers an intuitive description of cognition that enhances student understanding by organizing chapters around the flow of a piece of information that enters the cognitive system.
