Give your students an engaging introduction to cognitive psychology that explains how cognitive processes influence the way we think, remember, perceive and make decisions in everyday life. Goldstein and van Hooff's bestselling Cognitive Psychology brings the subject to life through engaging real-world examples, cutting-edge research and an accessible, student-friendly approach. Fully updated for this fourth edition, the text guides students through the core concepts and major areas of cognitive psychology, helping them develop a clear understanding of the dynamic relationship between mind, brain and behaviour. With a strong emphasis on research, methodology and real-world application, students will learn not only what cognitive theories are, but how to evaluate them and apply them to understanding human behaviour beyond the classroom.
