Synopsis

The writer of this book continues to do what made the first four editions remain the most comprehensive book in the area of cognition. Readers will understand the main thrust of the book because of the historical perspective and the writing style.This new edition still retains its strengths that made it popular: it's well written with a humorous touch, but explores the critical issues in cognitive psychology through historical context as well as up-to-date research. It has more coverage of artificial intelligence than other books and contains a new focus on technology in the discipline and a new chapter on consciousness.
