Now in use at over 200 colleges and universities, Cognition: Exploring the Science of the Mind is one of thepremier textbooks in the field. This exciting text challengesstudents to explore core concepts in cognitive psychology byfocusing on the ideas behind the research, asking "Why is itimportant?" and "What does it really mean?" Professor Reisberg'sunique approach draws on examples from a wide range of disciplines,including biology, linguistics, political science, economics, andphilosophy, among others, and clearly demonstrates the real-worldimplications of theoretical issues. Carefully revised to be more concise and accessible, the ThirdEdition features strengthened coverage of neuroscience, over 300new citations, and a new Student Web Site.
