With real-world examples, fascinating applications and clear explanations, this textbook helps uninitiated students understand the basic ideas and human impact of groundbreaking learning and memory research. Its unique organization into three sections—Behavioral Processes, Brain Substrates, and Clinical Perspectives—allows students to make connections across chapters while giving instructors the flexibility to easily assign the material that matches their course.The new edition again offers the book’s signature inclusion of human and animal studies with an engaging full-colour design and images. You’ll find even more meaningful real-life examples; new coverage of learning and memory research and brain-imaging; an expanded discussion of the role of genetics in producing individual differences; new material on the role of sleep in memory, and more.

Neuroscience research is integrated into each chapter, emphasizing how new findings from neuroscience point to the mechanisms that underlie behavioral processesThroughout each chapter concrete, real world examples of learning and memory help students grasp the implications of what they are studying and its relevance in their own livesThe full-color art program includes original anatomical art, state-of-the-art brain scans, colour-coded graphs, and other vivid figures to help students visualize the processes involved in learning and memoryNew_to_this_editionNew discussion of technologies for personal monitoring, such as use of electrodermal activity for measuring habituation and sensitization (Chapter 3)New discussion of the newly defined Internet gaming disorder (Chapter 5)New coverage of developments in functional neuroimaging, including high-resolution fMRI studies to show how “memory” patterns are encoded in the cortex
