Feedback
I am very pleased with the ease of ordering from your website. The books got delivered promptly, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the discounted price (which I would not have gotten it had I purchased it physically in a retail outlet). All these with the convenience of 24/7. I would certainly use your site for further ordering, and would also highly recommend it for others.

Cognitive Psychology: Applying the Science of the Mind, Second Edition, intended primarily for the undergraduate cognitive psychology course, combines clear yet rigorous descriptions of key empirical findings and theoretical principles with frequent real-world examples, strong learning pedagogy, and a straightforward organization.
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.

Features
|
|
|
- Unifying Themes: The book has three main threads that serve as unifying themes for current research in the field of cognition: Neuroscience; Consciousness; Individual Differences; Development; and Culture.
- Intuitive Organization: The authors have attempted to follow the flow of a piece of information that enters the cognitive system. The information is perceived, attended to and placed in working memory, identified, and committed to memory. Later, the information serves as the basis for the higher-level processes of language, problem solving, and decision making.
- Cool Experiments: In addition to the classic findings one would expect to find in a serious textbook on cognition, the authors have sought to include intriguing empirical investigations that will pique student interest either because of their setting or their empirical question, yet still address fundamental questions of cognition.
- Everyday Relevance: Multiple examples and STOP and THINK exercises appear in each chapter, encouraging the student to see just how relevant and interesting cognitive psychology is. The exercises can serve as homework assignments, as discussion generators for the classroom, or both.
- Strong Coverage of Research Methods:Chapter 2, Research Methods in Cognition, presents an overview of experiments and descriptive data analysis within the context of cognition research, so even though students may have taken a research methods course before, they may learn something new. The chapter can be skipped without a loss in organizational flow.
- Advance Organizers: Chapter Opening questions aid students in seeing the relevance and applicability of research on cognitive processes. These questions open each chapter and are referred to throughout the text.
