The textbook was first published in 2008, but this edition is so extensively revised that in many ways it is a new book. It incorporates changes in the science that combines cognitive psychology and neurology, but mainly has been reformatted to make it more useful to instructors and students. The topics include the methods of cognitive neurosciences, attention and its effects on stimulus processing, declarative memory, language, decision making, and the evolution and development of the brain and cognition.
