In Psychological Science, Seventh Edition, award-winning authors Elizabeth Phelps and Elliot Berkman have applied their experience teaching introductory psychology to all aspects of the text and learning tools, including the New Norton Illumine Ebook Update. The Norton Illumine Ebook can be assigned for points and includes New interactive “Red Q” Check Your Understanding questions with real-time answer-specific feedback, plus a new 3D brain that uses active learning to master challenging neurological processes. After completing their reading in the Norton Illumine Ebook, students receive additional formative practice with InQuizitive adaptive assessment, then apply the science of psychology with ZAPS 3.0 interactive labs, new to the Seventh Edition. Beyond a modern suite of digital teaching and learning tools, Liz and Elliot are committed to introducing students to a more modern view of the field—one that showcases the real-world impact of psychology, showcases the work of diverse researchers, and encourages students to learn and evaluate psychology through the lens of methods, replication, and open science.

Master teacher Sarah Grison has set the new standard for psychology texts. Through a NEW study unit format based on learning research, concepts are presented in a pedagogically consistent, accessible way. Learning Goal Activities and InQuizitive, Norton’s adaptive quizzing tool, engage students in active learning, while an innovative NEW collection of animated Concept Videos helps students visualize the most challenging topics. The NEW High Impact Practices (HIP): A Teaching Guide for Psychology provides research-based teaching.

A leading neuroscientist makes an incendiary argument defending free-will and responsibility, against the prevailing 'deterministic' view of how our brains control our behaviour.

Mikä tekee meistä erilaisia? Mikä on kielen ja taiteen merkitys inhimillisyyden määrittämisessä? Mikä on ihmisen tietoisuuden luone? Mitkä pitkän evolutiivisen polkumme tapahtumat ovat tehneet meistä ihmisistä ainutlaatuisia? Mitkä piirteet erottavat meidät muista eläimista? Tekijä esittelee laajan tutkimusten kentän ja nostaa esiin muutoksen, jonka ansiosta ajattelemme ja tunnemme toisin kuin edeltäjämme. Hän keskittyy erityisesti neurotieteen tuottamaan, psykologista itseä koskevaan uuteen aineistoon ja aivojen rakenteisiin, jotka ovat kielen, muistin, emootion ja havaitsemisen perusta.

The co-discoverer of the split brain" theory tells how science is recasting the age-old question of nature versus nurture to create a startling new view of human behaviour. Recent discoveries suggest that natural selection affects not only physical characteristics but also mental processes, from learning to substance abuse.
