Overview
"This is a thorough revision of the extremely successful second edition. It continues to consider the three main perspectives on cognitive psychology that now define the discipline: experimental cognitive psychology; cognitive science, with its emphasis on computational cognitive modelling; and cognitive neuropsychology, with its focus on cognition following brain damage. There is detailed coverage of the dynamic impact of these different perspectives on the main areas of cognitive psychology, including perception, attention, memory, categorisation, language, problem-solving, and reasoning." "The aim is to provide comprehensive coverage that is up-to-date, authoritative, and accessible. All existing chapters have been extensively revised and several new chapters added. Some of the topics receiving much greater coverage in this edition are: depth perception, brain structures in perception, autobiographical memory, implicit memory, theories of reading, mood-congruent effects, connectionism, scientific discovery, and conditional reasoning." "Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook will be essential reading for undergraduate students of psychology. It will also be of interest to students taking related courses in computer science, education, linguistics, physiology, and medicine."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
