About the Author:
The scientific study of human memory and cognition deals with compelling questions and ideas, such as how we think, reason, remember, learn, and use language. Cognition Canadian edition captures some of the excitement of the field for students and strives to strike a balance between basic, core material, important new developments, and cutting-edge topics.
Reflecting the increasing use of new technologies, the authors integrate sections on neuroscience within individual chapter topics.
