Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

R. Douglas Whitman's first edition of Cognition presents amazing breadth and excitement of cognitive psychology.  Within the pages of his book, he provides, - a clear history of the development models of the cognitive processes that provides a picture of how scientific progress proceeds, - comprehensive explanations of individual experiments and discussions of how they lead to new models of cognitive processes, and  - an important introduction to the contributions of cognitive neuroscience without the need for extensive background in neuroscience. Cognitive psychology continues to be a multi-disciplinary field with theoretical and research foci that overlap with virtually every aspect of psychology.  In addition, over the past several decades discoveries in neuropsychology and neuroscience have had major impact upon the cognitive psychology, now often incorporated into cognitive neuroscience. Cognition, First Edition incorporates current directions in neuroscience into a modern cognitive psychology textbook without losing the fundamental content of cognitive psychology.
