Description
Description
Now in its fifth edition, this accessible and comprehensive text highlights the most important theoretical, conceptual and methodological issues in cognitive neuroscience. Written by two experienced researchers who excel at teaching, the consistent narrative ensures that concepts are linked across chapters, and the careful selection of topics enables readers to grasp the big picture without getting distracted by details. Clinical applications such as developmental disorders, brain injuries and dementias are highlighted. In addition, the analogies and examples, opening case studies, and 'In Focus' boxes both engage and demonstrate the relevance of the material to real-world concerns. Revised for even greater clarity, the fifth edition features new and updated artwork, 'Key Questions' to review concepts, and 'Thought Questions' which develop the critical thinking skills needed to evaluate future developments in this fast-moving field. An expanded set of online resources is also available.

'This is a wonderfully engaging book with case studies to tease reader interest, a logical progression of neuroscientific topics to steadily build the reader's knowledge base, and effective questions and summaries to facilitate learning of the complex, yet accessible, material. I highly recommend this book!' BJ Casey, Barnard College, Columbia University
'Banich and Compton captivate their audience with interesting case studies, compelling examples, and beautiful figures. Instructor and student resources also promote retention using empirically based learning principles. A 'must-read' for those eager to learn more about mind and brain!' Jessica Andrews-Hanna, University of Arizona
'The revised and updated version of this textbook nicely presents a comprehensive treatment of key topics in cognitive neuroscience in an easy-to-read and thought-provoking approach. It should be a useful resource to university students interested in learning about the brain and human cognition.' Marcelo Salvador Caetano, Federal University of ABC
'Banich and Compton explore topics that reflect the scope of the field as well as areas of interest to students. They examine both function and dysfunction, along with practical applications, providing a fuller picture of the brain's role in human cognition, behavior, and emotion.' Chris Koch, George Fox University
