Connecting the study of cognition to everyday life in an unprecedented way, E. Bruce Goldstein's "Cognotive Psycology: Connecting Mind, Research, And Everyday Experience" gives equal treatment to both the landmark studies and the cutting-edge research that define this fascinating field. The text employs a wealth of concrete examples and illustrations that will help students understand the theories of cognition - driving home both the scientific importance of the theories and their relevance to students' daily lives. Goldstein's accessible narrative style blends with an art program that exceeds all expectations. Students will leave this text with a true understanding of the 'behind the scenes' activity that happens in the mind when humans do such seemingly simple activities as perceiving, remembering, or thinking. Goldstein's coverage also focuses on the behavioral and physiological approaches to cognition by including physiological materials in every chapter. As is typical of Bruce Goldstein's work, this is a major revision that reflects the most current aspects of the field. To help reinforce concepts, the text is available packaged with COGLAB 2.0
: The Online Cognitive Psychology Laboratory, which gives both students and instructors the chance to participate as subjects in research experiments. This pack also contains "CogLab on a CD, Version 2.0, International Edition, 4th Edition". "COGLAB 2" is an interactive online laboratory where students can run demonstrations of more than 40 classical experiments and concepts from cognitive psychology. "COGLAB 2" lets the instructor set up an online class group to track the results of students' experiences with each of the interactive cognitive demonstrations. The class is then able to collect and analyze real data based on their specific class group. This hands-on experience helps students understand each experiment, its underlying cognitive concepts, the data, and the significance of the study.
