As with his best-selling First Edition, Ronald T. Kellogg seeks to provide students with a synthesis of cognitive psychology at its best, encapsulating relevant background, theory, and research within each chapter. Understanding cognitive psychology now requires a deeper understanding of the brain than was true in the past. In his thoroughly revised Second Edition, the author highlights the tremendous contributions from the neurosciences, most notably neuroimaging, in recent years and approaches cognition in the context of both its development and its biological, bodily substrate.

Features of this text:

> A new chapter on cognitive neuroscience at the beginning of the book, along with greater coverage of neuroscience throughout, highlights the enormous contributions from the neurosciences (particularly neuroimaging of the brain) during the last decade.

> A new, full-chapter coverage on memory distortions highlights this topic with great interest value to students and strong practical implications in fields such as policing, law, and court proceedings.

> Key terms and concepts are bolded in text and defined in margin notes for easy reference and each chapter concludes with a summary and list of key terms for student review.

> Graphics have been expanded to visually support the text, and an expanded four-color insert highlights recent developments in neuroimaging.
