One of the top sellers in the field, Cognitive Psychology is well-written, humorous, and remains the most comprehensive
and balanced text in the area of undergraduate cognition. MacLin and MacLin, inheriting the textbook from the late
Robert L. Solso, boldly revised and reorganized the Eighth Edition to reflect emerging trends in the field, while
retaining the strengths that made it one of the most popular texts among students and professors. The text features
a sequential model of human cognition from sensation to perception, to attention, to memory, to higher-order cognition,
and features new cutting-edge coverage of consciousness, cognitive neuroscience, memory and forgetting, and evolutionary
psychology.
