Beschreibung

This textbook offers a foundational overview of cognitive psychology, balancing accessible writing, practical applications, and research.

Chapters cover key topics including cognitive neuroscience, attention and consciousness, perception, memory, knowledge representation, language, problem-solving and creativity, decision-making and reasoning, cognitive development, and intelligence. This seventh edition also introduces new content on human intelligence, consolidated into a final chapter.
