About the Book

One of the top sellers in the field, Solso's Cognitive Psychology is well-written, humorous, and contains up-to-date research in a rapidly changing field. This best-selling textbook remains the most comprehensive and balanced text in the area of cognition. The sixth edition retains the strengths that made it one of the most popular texts among students and professors and now includes the latest studies, including current findings in neuro-cognition. It is well-written, with a humorous touch, and explores the critical issues in cognitive psychology through both a historical and contemporary context. Students will understand the main thrust of cognitive psychology as it is practiced today because of the historical settings and the “Critical Thinking” boxes which encourage readers to become engaged and involved.
