This work presents detailed coverage of memory and emotion in an accessible style. The authors discuss selected experiments, rather than providing an exhaustive survey of the literature. A thematic approach is adopted throughout, and real examples and case studies are incorporated. This edition has been updated and includes new information in many areas including cognitive neuroscience, the foundations of cognitive psychology, and problem solving and reasoning. The foundation chapter includes a history of important developments in the field and a discussion of issues and debates. The expanded chapters on memory include current research on false memories and Jacoby's theory.
