内容説明
Now in use at over 200 colleges and universities, Cognition:
Exploring the Science of the Mind is one of the premier textbooks
in the field. This exciting text challenges students to explore
core concepts in cognitive psychology by focusing on the ideas
behind the research, asking "Why is it important?" and "What does
it really mean?" Professor Reisberg\'s unique approach draws on
examples from a wide range of disciplines, including biology,
linguistics, political science, economics, and philosophy, among
others, and clearly demonstrates the real-world implications of
theoretical issues.
Carefully revised to be more concise and accessible, the Third
Edition features strengthened coverage of neuroscience, over 300
new citations, and a new Student Web Site.
More Concise, New Pedagogy
Briefer than its predecessors, the Third Edition moves to an open,
single-column format and includes new thematic previews at the
beginning of each chapter. These previews get students thinking
about the central concepts in the chapter before they begin
reading.
Strengthened Coverage of Neuroscience
Highlights of the Third Edition\'s expanded coverage of
neuroscience:
Chapter 2 guides students through the basics of neuroanatomy and
neurochemistry, demonstrating the significance of neuroscience to
cognitive psychology, explaining the methodological issues involved
in distinguishing correlation and causation in neuroscience, and
using a study by Tong et al as a concrete example to demonstrate
the power of neuroimaging.
Chapter 3\'s discussion of object recognition now includes coverage
of viewpoint-dependence, which has important neuroscientific
implications.
Chapter 13 includes new coverage of neuropsychological research on
emotion\'s important role in decision-making.
Chapter 15 discusses "workspace" conceptions of consciousness as an
example of the intersections between cognitive psychology and
neuroscience.
