  Providing a comprehensive, approachable treatment of current cognitive psychology, this third edition of a classic volume, formerly entitled Human Memory and Cognition, maintains the direct style that has proved so popular with students and instructors alike. Neurocognitive evidence is integrated throughout and the text balances empirical evidence, theory, and explanations of important points with sufficient detail so that students learn not only cognitive psychology, but also how experiments are designed and interpreted and how theories are tested. This text demonstrates that the nuts and bolts of experiments can be communicated in a way that maintains student interest.

  The psychology of human memory and cognition is fascinating, dealing with questions and ideas that are inherently interesting, such as how we think, reason, remember, and use language. Using a first person narrative, posing direct questions to the reader, and balancing classic research with cutting edge topics, the author draws in the reader and conveys the excitement of the field.

  Reflecting the increasing use of new technologies to study memory and cognition, Ashcraft and the new co-author, Gabriel Radvansky, continue to integrate sections on neurosciences within individual chapter topics.
