Cognition

by Arnold L. Glass, Keith J. Holyoak

Cognition and voluntary action are one and the same thing. The third edition of Cognition is organized around this central thesis. The text is a description of how the mind works rather than a description of the kinds of experiments that cognitive psychologists perform. It is enlivened with many practical examples and anecdotes. A special effort is made to show how the different cognitive functions, action, perception, attention, etc., all overlap.
