Description
With a focus on the constant interactions of events, this text helps students understand the foundations of the discipline from the vantage points of the brain, the person, and the world (group).
Through their own research, clinical work, and experiences as teachers, Stephen Kosslyn and Robin Rosenberg have found that exploring psychology from three integrated perspectives further enhances learning. Examining psychological concepts from the interactions of the brain (biological factors), the person (beliefs, desires, and feelings) and the world (social, cultural, and environmental factors) helps students organize and integrate topics within and across chapters and actively apply psychology to their lives.
The third edition continues to provide the most comprehensive yet accessible coverage of neuroscience for the introductory psychology student. The neuroscience is placed solidly in a psychological context; facts about the brain are not described for their own sake, but rather to show how such facts illuminate psychology. The third edition also features pedagogical enhancements such as “chunking” the material into smaller units to help students more readily learn and retain information. Each chapter also closes with a “Review and Remember!” note-taking exercise that encourages students to jot down their own thoughts and memory devices alongside the author-provided summary.
