From the Back Cover:

How do we "know"?

In this engaging and comprehensive revision, John B. Best vividly demonstrates that the ease with which we engage in cognitive processes shouldn′t blind us to their complexity; in fact, he fosters student appreciation of the nuances through real–world anecdotes, timely coverage of research, and applied demonstrations. Best′s discussions of memory consider complex issues of contemporary neuroscience. Cognitive Psychology provides balanced coverage of the core areas of the discipline, including perception, memory, language, pattern recognition, and thinking. Best skillfully relates cognitive psychology to your experience and provides a solid foundation for later studies in psychology or in related fields.
