Psychological Science
A text that applies what researchers and educators have discovered about how, where, and why students learn. The result: Better learning through science.
The authors introduce students to the fundamentals of psychology and the latest cutting-edge research through a pedagogical framework designed to keep students engaged, motivated, and learning actively. As in the third edition, the "science of learning" facilitates long-term retention and understanding. The fourth edition introduces "Psychology: Knowledge You Can Use" boxes. Each of these new features shows students the immediate utility of a main concept discussed in the particular chapter. By applying the science of learning and making connections to students' everyday lives, Psychological Science, Fourth Edition, addresses how, where, and why students learn.
