Drawing on a modern neurocognitive framework, this full-color textbook introduces the entire field of cognition through an engaging narrative. Emphasizing the common neural mechanisms that underlie all aspects of perception, learning, and reasoning, the text encourages students to recognize the interconnectivity between cognitive processes. Elements of social psychology and developmental psychology are integrated into the discussion, leading students to understand and appreciate the connection between cognitive processing and social behavior. Numerous learning features provide extensive student support: chapter summaries encourage students to reflect on the main points of each chapter; end-of-chapter questions allow students to review their understanding of key topics; approximately two hundred figures, photos, and charts clarify complex topics; and suggestions for further reading point students to resources for deeper self-study. The textbook is also accompanied by eight hundred multiple-choice questions, for use before, during, and after class, which have been proven to dramatically improve student understanding and exam performance.

• Emphasizes the common neural mechanisms and brain systems at the foundation of all aspects of cognition, rather than treating each cognitive process as a separate subject
• Relates cognitive processing to social behavior, clearly demonstrating the relevance of the subject to students' everyday lives
• Clarifies complex topics and reinforces student understanding through an extensive set of figures, photos, tables, charts, and multiple-choice questions
