Cognition: Theory and Applications (Revised)

Mood-dependent memory . . . the power of suggestion in the creation of false memories . . . accident rates . . . jury instruction . . . speed reading . . . learning vocabulary . . . Your students will find coverage of these topics and much more in this revision of Stephen Reed's comprehensive, yet easy-to-understand text. Well respected for its breadth of coverage and for the careful way it walks readers step by step through some of the more difficult experimental material, Reed's Fourth Edition offers up-to-date and easy-to-understand coverage of such topics as short-term and long-term memory, problem solving, decision making, attention, and comprehension. The edition includes an expanded discussion of the relation of cognitive psychology to other fields including neuropsychology, neural network models, automatic encoding, working memory models, and very long-term retention.
