Demystify the core concepts of cognitive psychology

Written specifically for psychology students—and not other academics—Cognitive Psychology For Dummies is an accessible and entertaining introduction to the field. Unlike the dense and jargon-laden content found in most psychology textbooks, this practical guide provides readers with easy-to-understand explanations of the fundamental elements of cognitive psychology so that they are able to obtain a firm grasp of the material.

Cognitive Psychology For Dummies follows the structure of a typical university course, which makes it the perfect supplement for students in need of a clear and enjoyable overview of the topic. The complexities of a field that explores internal mental processes—including the study of how people perceive, remember, think, speak, and solve problems—can be overwhelming for first-year psychology students. This practical resource cuts through the academic-speak to provide a clear understanding of the most important elements of cognitive psychology.

  • Obtain a practical understanding of the core concepts of cognitive psychology
  • Supplement required course reading with clear and easy-to-understand overviews
