Description
Cognition, 6e is a comprehensive introduction to the field of cognitive psychology. It examines the mental processes behind how we acquire knowledge and understanding about the world through thought, experience, and the senses. Covering a wide range of topics such as perception, memory, reasoning, and language, as well as the common cognitive disorders associated with each, the sixth edition also offers a brand new chapter on consciousness. Accompanied by online Discovery Labs and a robust suite of ancillaries, Cognition applies real-life examples to the key theories, creating an accessible, yet comprehensive primer to the field."--
