"What do we know? How do we know it? How do we learn and remember? And what are the different ways of learning and remembering, of knowing, perceiving, and problem-solving?" "Addressing these and other key questions, this new edition of a well-respected text provides a rich historical context for current research in cognitive psychology. Written in an engaging, straightforward style, the third edition of Cognition has been completely revised with hundreds of updates and new references that attest to the growing importance of this area of psychology. More than 100 figures - many new to this edition - illustrate experiments in cognitive research and their results, complementing the author's clear and uncomplicated explanations of even the most difficult concepts."--BOOK JACKET.

The Cambridge Handbook of the Intellectual History of Psychology
We cannot understand contemporary psychology without first researching its history. Unlike other books on the history of psychology, which are chronologically ordered, this Handbook is organized topically. It covers the history of ideas in multiple areas of the field and reviews the intellectual history behind the major topics of investigation. The evolution of psychological ideas is described alongside an analysis of their surrounding context. Readers learn how eminent psychologists draw on the context of their time and place for ideas and practices, and also how innovation in psychology is an ongoing dialogue between past, present, and anticipated future.
The History of the Social Sciences Since 1945
The book covers the main developments in the social sciences after World War Two. Chapters on economics, human geography, political science, psychology, social anthropology, and sociology will interest anyone wanting short, accessible histories of those disciplines; they will also make it easy for readers to compare disciplines. A final chapter offers a blueprint for writing the history of the social sciences as a whole, drawing attention to the role of interdisciplinary work and to the importance of factors from the Second World War to the sixties and the fall of communism.
