Synopsis

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.

Professor Reisberg’s inquiry-based approach challenges students to explore core concepts in cognitive psychology by focusing on the ideas behind the research. This 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. The Third Media Edition combines the strengths of the print text with integrated, cutting-edge multimedia resources. Students using the text will have free access to ZAPS, Norton's acclaimed online psychology labs, as well as the accompanying ZAPS Workbook. Online essays on the accompanying student website explore the relationship between cognitive psychology, the law, and research methodology.
