Cognitive Psychology provides an intuitive pathway through the core topics and concepts required by the British Psychological Society. The book covers all areas of human cognition including questions and ideas about how we think, reason, remember, and use language. Balancing classic research with new, cutting-edge topics, this is the perfect introduction to Cognitive Psychology. With a clear and straightforward style, this easy-to-follow textbook explores the core topics and concepts through contemporary research, globally relevant, diverse examples and Cognition in everyday life to show how relevant Cognitive Psychology is to all of us. Highlighting the research and achievements of key People/figures from around the world and the impact they have had on cognitive psychology. With coverage of Neuropsychology and Neuroscience, Cognition and Emotion, and Social Cognition, including topics like empathy, theory of mind, social rejection and loneliness, this combination of depth and breadth of content, provided in an accessible and multimedia/interactive way helps students to dive into this intriguing subject area.
