Cognitive Psychology: Theory, Process, and Methodology engages students in the key topics of study by making connections to situations and encounters in their day-to-day lives. Employing a student-friendly and personal writing style, with a focus on methodology, Dawn M. McBride, J. Cooper Cutting, and new coauthor Corinne Zimmerman, cover essential topics such as perception, attention, memory, language, reasoning and problem solving, and cognitive neuroscience. Updates to the Third Edition include a reorganization of core chapters, new research and citations, a new chapter on cognitive development, and a fully executed plan to include more diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout.
