Cognitive Psychology: Applying the Science of the Mind

by Gregory Robinson-Riegler, Bridget Robinson-Riegler

This book brings cognition to life by demonstrating the endless application of cognitive psychology to everyday life. While introducing the current research in this rapidly changing field, the text also introduces critical thinking exercises that highlight important phenomena and provide an engaging firsthand view of the everyday relevance of research in cognition. The book has three main threads that serve as unifying themes for current research in the Cognition and Neuroscience; Cognition and Consciousness; and Cognition and Individual Differences. A ";story"; introduces the book and is continually referred to throughout in installments, highlighting the application of the information and providing a useful organizing tool.

I am actually reading the 2008 edition for class..it's fairly technical which can make it a very slow read but very informative and very good for book for a cognitive psychology class

Ok for textbook. Easy to read, but as an e-book it was very hard to navigate. Good information throughout and very spot on.
