[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Pearson Education Limited], emFor introductory psychology courses at two-year and four-year institutions. /em This innovative, 13-chapter text examines psychological issues from the levels of the brain, person, and group (social world) to help students actively apply psychology to their lives. Offered in digital format or on-demand custom format. Through their own research, clinical work, and experiences as teachers, Stephen Kosslyn and Robin Rosenberg have found that exploring psychology from multiple perspectives further enhances learning. Examining psychological concepts from the levels of the brain (biological factors), the person (beliefs, desires, and feelings), and the group (social, cultural, and environmental factors) -- and by considering how events at these levels interact -- helps students organize and integrate topics within and across chapters and actively apply psychology to their lives. Features + Benefits Includes the new "Think Like a Psychologist" feature. These are marginal notes with critical thinking questions that lead students to apply related content to their lives. Some of these notes include "Do It!" activities, which invite the student either to collect data about a phenomenon or to try a specific psychological activity some of these notes invite the student to go to MyPsychLab to download a document for use with the activity (such as relaxation induction). The "Think Like a Psychologist" feature is placed in the margin adjacent to related content. Integrates the field and brings psychology into focus for students by examining concepts through the lenses of the brain, the person, and the group. The popular "Looking at Levels" feature engages students by exploring an aspect of psychology through these three lenses. Features student-friendly learning tools, including built-in study aids such as"Looking Ahead: Learning Objectives" section preview questions, "Looking Back" sections that provide brief answers to the "Looking Ahead" questions. "Let's Review" chapter summaries, key terms lists, and end-of-chapter Practice Tests, all help students focus on the core concepts. Includes a high-interest chapter story that begins each chapter and is revisited throughout, providing a framework for the chapter's discussion of relevant psychological theories and research. These stories allow students to see how the psychological material covered in the chapter might apply to people outside of a psychological laboratory and they also make the material more interesting and applicable to their lives, thereby facilitating learning and remembering. Includes instructive art, thoughtfully placed throughout the text, making the text particularly helpful for visual learners. For example, classic experiments are described and visually displayed as multi-panel illustrations, helping students better understand and remember these studies through showing and telling. Features well-known and highly regarded authors: Stephen Kosslyn, formerly professor of psychology, "head tutor," and Dean of Social Science at Harvard University, and now professor of psychology at Stanford University, where he is director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences. Dr. Kosslyn's research has focused on the nature of visual mental imagery and visual communication. Robin Rosenberg is a clinical psychologist, board certified in clinical psychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology and a fellow of the American Academy of Clinical Psychology. She has a private practice and has taught introductory psychology at Lesley College. She also uses superhero stories to explain psychological phenomena. span class="underlined" /span Chapter 1: Introduction to the Science of Psychology: History and Research Methods Chapter 2: The Biology of Mind and Behavior: The Brain in Action Chapter 3: Sensation and Perception: How the World Enters the Mind Chapter 4: Learning: How Experience Changes Us Chapter 5: Memory: Living With Yesterday Chapter 6: Language, Thinking, and Intelligence: What Humans Do Best Chapter 7: Emotion and Motivation: Feeling and Striving Chapter 8: Personality: Vive La Difference!
