Best review for Outlines & Highlights for Cognitive Psychology by Nick Braisby (Editor) (Cram 101 Textbook Outlines)

Cognitive processes enable us to experience the world around us: to recognise a friendly face in a crowd, to communicate our passions, to recall memories from the past. When these processes stop working, it can turn friends into strangers, render speech impossible, and make history a confusion of truth and lies. Cognitive Psychology, Second Edition unravels these complex ideas, introducing the concepts behind them and looking at how techniques, such as neuroimaging, can provide answers to questions that may at first seem unanswerable.
The chapters – covering a broad range of topics, including attention, perception, and neuropsychiatry – are written to inspire students, and come complete with helpful resources, including in-chapter summaries to consolidate learning, ‘Activity’ boxes to help students engage in the content, and ‘Research study’ boxes to encourage an awareness of scientific method.
With chapters written by experts in their fields and edited by professors with a wealth of experience in teaching and learning, Cognitive Psychology, Second Edition is the ideal course companion for all psychology students.
The Online Resource Centre to accompany Cognitive Psychology, Second Edition includes:
For lecturers:
DT Figures from the book available to download.
DT A text bank of multiple choice questions.
DT Chapters from the Methods Companion to the first edition.

Our experience of the world around us is grounded in many intricate cognitive processes, which allow us to sense and perceive, to comprehend, and to remember. But how can we study these cognitive processes? What techniques are available to help us probe new questions in cognitive psychology, and further our understanding of this intriguing field? “Cognitive Psychology: A Methods Companion” focuses on the key methods of cognitive psychology, as well as on exciting new techniques that cognitive psychologists increasingly need to understand. Its aim is to enable students to understand these methods, their advantages and disadvantages, and better appreciate the research that employs them. Adopting a broad approach, the book draws on the contributions of the neural sciences and the computing sciences to experimental psychology, demonstrating how connectionism, symbolic computation, neuroimaging, and neuropsychology are being applied to illuminate our understanding of cognitive processes. Students are encouraged to undertake numerous activities, including computer-based exercises using specially designed software and files, to help them engage with the methods covered, and begin to explore the power of these methods as research tools. With new technologies driving forward advances in cognitive psychology at an unprecedented rate, it has never been more important for students to be aware of these technologies. “Cognitive Psychology: A Methods Companion” is the perfect resource to help students attain this awareness, and appreciate the impact that these technologies are having on the study of cognitive psychology. Online Resource Centre: The companion web site contains the following resources to augment material presented in the text, and to support interactive self-directed student learning: Neural Nets software; Act-r software; Excel spreadsheets and exercises; and SPSS data files.
