As in previous editions, the following three perspectives are considered in depth: experimental cognitive psychology; cognitive science, with its focus on cognitive modelling; and cognitive neuropsychology with its focus on cognition following brain damage. In addition, and new to this edition, is detailed discussion of the cognitive neuroscience perspective, which uses advanced brain-scanning techniques to clarify the functioning of the human brain. There is detailed coverage of the dynamic impact of these four perspectives on the main areas of cognitive psychology, including perception, attention, memory, knowledge representation, categorisation, language, problem-solving, reasoning, and judgement.<br> The aim is to provide comprehensive coverage that is up-to-date, authoritative, and accessible. All existing chapters have been extensively revised and re-organised. Some of the topics receiving much greater coverage in this edition are: brain structures in perception, visual attention, implicit learning, brain structures in memory, prospective memory, exemplar theories of categorisation, language comprehension, connectionist models in perception, neuroscience studies of thinking, judgement, and decision making.<br> <i>Cognitive Psychology: A Students Handbook</i> 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.</P> 1558860 1990 Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook, 4th Edition total:8|5:3|4:1|3:1|2:1|1:2| 8 26 13 0 5 0 false false Sun Nov 15 20:37:04 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 20:37:04 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 25 14:17:04 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 14:17:04 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue May 26 09:28:45 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 10:12:00 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue Sep 22 14:37:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 03:06:18 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 14:37:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 04 05:13:36 -0700 2008 Sun May 04 05:13:43 -0700 2008 1 0 false false Fri Mar 28 18:26:20 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 28 18:26:20 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Mar 23 09:01:52 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 23 09:02:03 -0700 2008 1 0 false false Sat Mar 22 11:48:06 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 22 11:48:06 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Jan 30 11:35:28 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 30 11:35:28 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Sep 03 00:36:07 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 21 11:24:22 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 03 00:36:07 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Wed Aug 15 23:05:19 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 15 23:05:31 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Mon Jul 30 10:33:25 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 30 10:33:25 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Fri Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2000 Tue Jul 24 08:32:30 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 24 08:33:21 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1333897
