An accessible introduction to the study of cognition
Cognition provides a balance between classic research and current topics in the fascinating field of human memory and cognition. Using a first-person narrative, authors Gabriel Radvansky and Mark Ashcraft pose questions directly to readers, drawing them in and conveying the excitement of the field. Reflecting the increasing use of new technologies to study memory and cognition, the authors continue to integrate sections on neuroscience within individual chapters on a range of topics. The Seventh Edition has been updated with expanded coverage of important developments that are central to the field.

Cognition, Seventh Edition is also available via Revel™, an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience. Learn more.
