Description

Cognitive Psychology: Theory, Process, and Methodology engages students by connecting cognitive psychology research to everyday situations and using a writing style that is personal and accessible. Authors Dawn M. McBride, Corinne Zimmerman, and J. Cooper Cutting begin each chapter with a real-world example and emphasize applications and methodologies from both classic and recent studies to help students understand how researchers study cognitive phenomena and evaluate theoretical perspectives. Each chapter is designed to be encapsulated as much as possible to support a variety of sequences through the material. The authors illustrate connections to other psychological subfields throughout the text with neuroscientific studies, in particular, embedded in each chapter. Celebrated for its striking figures and illustrations, this text provides students with ample opportunities to test their learning through "Stop and Think" questions and the critical thinking feature "Thinking about Research" at the end of each chapter. The Fourth Edition has been fully updated with recent research and examples, including new material on forgetting, highly superior autobiographical memory, sign languages, and AI-assisted decision making.
