Sinopsis
A textbook for psychology, neuroscience, pre-medical students, and everybody interested in the neuroscience of cognition. A wave of new research is transforming our understanding of the human mind and brain. Many educational fields now require a basic understanding of the new topic of cognitive neuroscience. However, available textbooks are written more for biology audiences than for psychology and related majors. This text aims to bridge that gap. A background in biology of neuroscience is not required. The thematic approach builds on widely understood concepts in psychology, such as working memory, selective attention, and social cognition. Edited by two leading experts in the field, the book guides the reader along a clear path to understand the latest findings. FEATURES: Written specifically for psychology, pre-medical, education and neuroscience undergraduate and graduate students The thematic approach builds on on accepted concepts, not presuming a background in neuroscience or biology Includes two Appendices on brain imaging and neural networks written by Thomas Ramsoy and Igor Aleksander Introduces the brain in a step-by-step, readable style, with gradually increasing sophistication Richly illustrated in full color with clear and detailed drawings that build the brain from top to bottome, simplifying the layout of the brain for students Pedagogy includes exercises and study questions at the end of each chapter

A textbook for psychology, neuroscience, pre-medical students, and everybody interested in the neuroscience of cognition.
A wave of new research is transforming our understanding of the human mind and brain. Many educational fields now require a basic understanding of the new topic of cognitive neuroscience. However, available textbooks are written more for biology audiences than for psychology and related majors. This text aims to bridge that gap. It does not require a background in biology or neuroscience. Rather, it adopts an easy-to-understand thematic approach, building on widely understood concepts in psychology, such as working memory, selective attention, and social cognition. Edited by two leading experts in the field, the book guides the reader along a clear and simple path to understand the latest findings.
The brain is introduced in a step-by-step, readable style. Hundreds of color graphics have been carefully selected to illustrate all points and the research explained. Beautifully clear artist s drawings are used to build a brain from top to bottom, simplifying the layout of the brain. Drawing exercises at the end of each chapter are provided to strengthen the students understanding. Well-known chapter authors include Morris Moscovitch (McGill University) on memory, Frank Tong (Vanderbilt University) on vision, Nicole Gage (UC Irvine) on audition and speech perception, Mark Johnson (University College London) on child development, Elkhonon Goldberg (New York University School of Medicine and Director of The Institute of Neuropsychology and Cognitive Performance) on executive functions, and Bernard Baars (The Neurosciences Institute San Diego) on attention and consciousness. Two Appendices provide a Tutorial on Neural Networks by Igor Aleksander (Imperial College london), and a more detailed description of brain imaging methods from Thomas Ramsoy and colleagues from the Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance.
A support website at http://textbooks.elsevier.com provides all figures in electronic format with export to Powerpoint, as well as supplementary material including movies and support material for teachers and students.
