Märksõnad:
The only textbook to frame cognitive psychology in the context of our everyday lives.

Our lives are governed by cognitive processes, whether we are searching for a face in a crowd, driving to work, or learning a second language. Cognition in the Real World brings together expert contributors who explain the processes underlying everyday behaviours.

It is set apart from traditional textbooks by being organised by behaviours we are exposed to every day-such as drawing a picture, learning your way around a new city, or deciding how to invest your money. Such activities naturally involve a variety of cognitive functions; by considering these functions in an integrated way, the text provides a complete picture of how behaviours work together, rather than separately.

Drawing upon important insights from areas such as developmental psychology and neuroscience, Cognition in the Real World demonstrates how cognitive psychology fits with the broader subjects around it, rather than treating it as an independent topic.

With a strong foundation in cognitive theory, framed by an original and engaging real-world approach, the text makes the topics of cognition come alive.

Arvustused

This is the book I wish I'd had as an undergraduate. * Roger Newport, Senior Lecturer, Loughborough University * A most accessible, student friendly cognitive psychology text book; one of the best I have yet come across. * Richard Stephens, Senior Lecturer in Psychology, Keele University * The approach is excellent and innovative and the focus on cognitive processes underpinning real-world problems would make the subject more popular among students. * Carlo De Lillo, Associate Professor, University of Leicester * A fresh take on the domain of cognition and could form the basis of an engaging final year Psychology undergraduate course. * Szonya Durant, Professor, Royal Holloway, University of London * Cognition in the Real World provides an alternative prism through which to view a field which can sometimes appear disconnected from everyday experience. It will get students talking about phenomena, phenomena in people, their jobs, and their societies. * Steven Samuel, Lecturer, City St George's, University of London *
