Cognition: Exploring the Science of the Mind

One of the most successful cognitive psychology texts ever published: up-to-date, authoritative, and clearly written.

Cognition uses the best of current research to help students think like psychologists and understand how cognitive psychology is relevant to their lives. The Fifth Edition offers a streamlined presentation, introduces an attractive new full-color design and an expanded art program, and has been thoughtfully updated with the best of current research.
