Synopsis

This series of dictionaries provides comprehensive, up-to-date definitions in each subject and are fully cross-referenced. Definitions in these dictionaries are aimed at the level of knowledge of the reader, so that basic terms are explained as though to a novice, while more complex terms are aimed at readers with an assumed greater level of knowledge (although by use of the cross-references provided a more basic explanation can usually be found). The first three volumes in the series cover developmental and cognitive psychology and psychological testing, assessment and treatment. This "Dictionary of Cognitive Psychology" provides over 2,000 definitions of key terms in cognition. It includes not only comprehensible and comprehensive definitions of terms, but also explanations of key experiments and theories.
