Description
Traditional experimental psychology is now supported by a cognitive science perspective that stresses important new developments in computational modelling and cognitive neuropsychology and shows their dynamic impact on perception, attention, memory, categorization, language, problem solving and reasoning. The text is designed to be easily accessible to undergraduates through the use of section summaries and point-by-point accounts of theories.
