Foundations of Cognitive Psychology Summary

Foundations of Cognitive Psychology by Fernand Gobet

Cognitive psychology addresses many fascinating questions about memory, emotion and language:

  • Can our identity be reduced to our memories?
  • What are emotions for?
  • Are we born with an innate knowledge of language?
  • This introductory text is a concise guide to the core fundamentals of cognitive psychology, rather than an encyclopaedic volume. The authors cover a broad range of topics, using their wealth of teaching experience to select the key theories and most engaging examples. Lively and thought-provoking, this new book conveys the sense of discovery that makes the subject so exciting to study.
