"Kellogg′s Cognitive Psychology is clearly written, highly
informative, and consistently engaging. By integrating core material
in cognitive psychology with the latest developments in cognitive
neuroscience and neuroimaging, Kellogg provides a broad, cutting edge
view of the field today."." -Daniel L. Schacter, Harvard University
"This is a very thorough and complete text that is very well written.
I was particularly impressed that the book incorporated and integrated
the literatures on neuroscience and individual differences." -Randall
Engle, Georgia Institute of Technology "Kellogg′s textbook provides
outstanding coverage of contemporary cognitive psychology. I
especially welcomed chapters on Cognitive Neuroscience, providing
neural underpinnings of cognition, and Intelligence. The latter topic
is rarely included in books on cognition because the study of
intelligence developed in a somewhat separate tradition from
experimental cognitive psychology. Yet clearly intelligence should be
considered as part of cognitive psychology, too. The coverage in the
book is comprehensive and authoritative, but the chapters I read are
also quite interesting and accessible. This book should be widely used
as a text and a reference work." -Henry L. Roediger, III, Washington
University in St. Louis 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. An Instructor′s
Manual on CD-ROM is available to qualified adopters.
