内容简介
Now in use at over 200 colleges and universities,
Cognition: Exploring the Science of the Mind is one of the
premier textbooks in the field. This exciting text challenges
students to explore core concepts in cognitive psychology by
focusing on the ideas behind the research, asking "Why is it
important?" and "What does it really mean?" Professor Reisberg's
unique approach draws on examples from a wide range of disciplines,
including biology, linguistics, political science, economics, and
philosophy, among others, and clearly demonstrates the real-world
implications of theoretical issues.
Carefully revised to be more concise and accessible, the Third
Edition features strengthened coverage of neuroscience, over 300
new citations, and a new Student Web Site.
