Brain & Behavior by Bob L Garrett

Brain & Behavior by Bob L Garrett

The Third Edition continues its successful combination of educational features that encourage the student to learn and make teaching easier for the instructor. Marginal questions scattered throughout the chapter help keep the student focused, while sectional Concept Checks and self tests provide immediate feedback on the student's understanding of the material. At the end of each chapter the student is encouraged toward further exploration by the web links found in Online Resources, the references in For Further Reading, and the probing questions of For Further Thought. Throughout the chapters, Application boxes take the student a step beyond the chapter material, and In the News features tell the student that biopsychology is both timely and relevant. The Third Edition devotes an entire chapter to intelligence and cognitive functioning and another to consciousness. Coming in the last unit of the text, these chapters assure that the student will walk away with the understanding that neuroscience is not only relevant but powerful enough to discover the foundations of our most defining characteristics.

"I have been searching for a book that would thoroughly treat all of the concepts in brain and behavior while also being easy enough for the student to read without becoming overwhelmedI think that the Garrett text might be an answer to my problem." -- Natalie Ceballos "My students liked the organization of Garrett. They thought it was easy to read and an appropriate resource for this course." -- Charles Long "The key issues in teaching biopsychology are getting students focused on the material and making it interesting enough for them to be willing to read the text. -- Susan A. Todd "Garrett delivers...using every day applications to provide a context for making dry material much more interesting." -- Patricia Bach
