Cognitive Science combines the interdisciplinary streams of cognitive science into a unified narrative in an all-encompassing introduction to the field. This text presents cognitive science as a discipline in its own right, and teaches students to apply the techniques and theories of the cognitive scientist's 'toolkit' - the vast range of methods and tools that cognitive scientists use to study the mind. Thematically organized, rather than by separate disciplines, Cognitive Science underscores the problems and solutions of cognitive science, rather than those of the subjects that contribute to it - psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, etc. The generous use of examples, illustrations, and applications demonstrates how theory is applied to unlock the mysteries of the human mind. Drawing upon cutting-edge research, the text has been updated and enhanced to incorporate new studies and key experiments since the first edition. A new chapter on consciousness has also been added. Treats cognitive science as a discipline in its own right This second edition includes an entirely new chapter on consciousness, and has been updated throughout to incorporate new theories and experiments Online resources provide a complete teaching package, including: experimental demonstrations, videos, figures from the text, sample syllabi, instructor PowerPoint slides for every section, testbanks, suggestions for class discussion, and links to useful online resources Lively, full color presentation with overviews, summaries and checklists to aid active learning and help students find and retain information for papers and exams
