Cognitive psychology addresses many fascinating questions about memory, emotion and language: - Can our identity be reduced to our memories?
- What are emotions for?
- Are we born with an innate knowledge of language?
This introductory text is a concise guide to the core fundamentals of cognitive psychology, rather than an encyclopaedic volume. The authors cover a broad range of topics, using their wealth of teaching experience to select the key theories and most engaging examples. Lively and thought-provoking, this new book conveys the sense of discovery that makes the subject so exciting to study.
