Fundamentals of Cognitive Psychology 7/ed.

Fundamentals of Cognitive Psychology by R. Reed Hunt and Henry C. Ellis presents brief coverage of perception, attention, memory, knowledge, problem solving, and emotion in a friendly and accessible style. By discussing selected experiments rather than exhaustively surveying the empirical literature, the authors enable students to appreciate the intricacies of problem solving activity in cognition. The text incorporates real world examples, case studies, and useful key experiments on specific topics. The Seventh Edition is thoroughly revised and includes new chapters on Forgetting and Memory Distortion, Implicit Memory, and Meta-Cognition.

psychological processes that are distinctiveness in memory.
