In the third edition of this text, Friedenberg and Silverman offer a comprehensive understanding of cognitive science's key theoretical and empirical contributions. The updated edition explores major theories of mind and experimental findings across various cognitive science disciplines. It addresses fundamental questions about the nature of the mind, perception, thought, memory, and the potential for conscious machines. Each chapter focuses on a specific cognitive science field, detailing its methodology, theoretical perspective, and findings, followed by a critical evaluation. Key features include a multidisciplinary introduction to cognitive science and mind-related issues, with "Interdisciplinary Crossroads" sections that highlight research topics viewed from multiple perspectives, fostering connections between diverse disciplines and cognitive science. End-of-chapter "Summing Up" sections provide concise summaries of key points to aid comprehension and exam preparation. Additionally, "Explore More" sections direct students to a Student Study Site with activities designed to enhance mastery of course content. Supplemental resources include a password-protected Instructor's Resource with PowerPoint lectures, a test bank, and other teaching materials, along with a Study Site offering web links, E-flash cards, and interactive quizzes to support learning and exam readiness.
