Principles Of Cognitive Psychology (Principles of Psychology) - Tapa blanda

'... skifully written, developing in the early-career student the sense of what constitutes a good theory and how it differs from a mere re-description of data. Michael Eysenck has a very strong reputation for writing textbooks. This book further enhances that reputation.' - J.G Quinn, University of St Andrews, UK. '... an excellent up-to-the-minute introduction to cognitive psychology. The content makes up the traditional backbone of many cognitive psychology courses and links well-known studies in the past to very recent ones that bring the reader up to date on the issues involved.' - Ian Robertson, University of Luton

This is a title in the modular "Principles of Psychology Series", designed for A-level and other introductory courses. Cognitive psychology is a large and expanding area within psychology as a whole. However, there are certain topics, such as perception, memory, language and reasoning, which are generally regarded as being of fundamental importance. It is this core of cognitive psychology which is the focus of this book. If you have ever wondered how we perceive the world, or use language, or remember information, then this book aims to provide insights into our performance of these activities.
