Description

An engaging and relatable examination of how we perceive and interpret the world around us

The study of human cognitive processes provides insight into why we act or react the way we do. Understanding cognition can help us understand ourselves and others and can even allow us to make educated predictions about future behaviors. In Cognition, 11th Edition, author Thomas Farmer updates this classic text with the latest advances in the field and more in-depth coverage of prominent topics. Expanded and refined throughout, this edition retains the breadth of scope and depth of detail that has made it the go-to text on the topic. Cognition emphasizes the link between conceptual cognitive psychology and real-world experience: case studies, current trends, and historical perspectives merge to provide a comprehensive understanding of core principles and theories.

  • Discusses behavioral measures and overviews classical behaviorist paradigms
  • Extends the discussions of sensory transduction, procedural memory, and more
  • Clarifies theories of attention and the distinction between controlled vs. automatic processing
  • Includes self quizzes at the end of each chapter, plus updates to all chapters with new and revised content

New to the 11th Edition:

  • On average, each chapter includes three or four major points of revision aimed either at better explaining a particular process or theory or at bring the examination of cognitive processes up-to-date with current science.
  • Practice questions for each chapter are available in formats suitable for both pen-and-paper use and digital use.
  • Instructor resources are enhanced with new lecture presentation slides and chapter outlines annotated by the author to facilitate lecture design and delivery.
