Beschreibung
The new edition of this comprehensive textbook on learning and memory offers an engaging and enhanced pedagogy. Instructors can assign the chapters they want from four distinctive modules - introduction, learning, memory, and integrative topics. Each chapter addresses behavioural processes, then the underlying neuroscience, then relevant clinical perspectives. The book is further distinguished by its full-colour presentation and coverage that includes comparisons between studies of human and nonhuman brains, and extended coverage of animal learning.
With its modular organization, consistent chapter structure, and contemporary perspective, this groundbreaking survey is ideal for courses on learning and memory, and is easily adaptable to courses that focus on either learning or memory.
- Divided into four modules (Introduction Module, Learning Module, Memory Module, Integrative Topics Module), allowing instructors the flexibility to teach either learning or memory first
- Each chapter is divided into three sections (Behavioral Processes, Brain Substrates, and Clinical Applications) integrating coverage of animal learning and human memory
- Learning and Memory in Everyday Life demonstrates the practical implications of contemporary research with compelling topics including Can we reduce memory overload? and Are video games good for the brain?
- Critical thinking questions ask students to apply concepts to new situations
- Includes full colour original anatomical art, state-of-the-art brain scans, and detailed figures
- New and expanded coverage on topics including transcranial direct current stimulation, animal learning, motor prostheses, and the differences between vocal imitation in humans and vocal learning in birds
