COGNITIVE SCIENCE
Second edition
Cognitive Science combines the interdisciplinary streams of cognitive science into a uniﬁed
narrative in an all-encompassing introduction to the ﬁeld. This text presents cognitive science
as a discipline in its own right, and teaches students to apply the techniques and theories of the
cognitive scientist’s ‘toolkit’ – the vast range of methods and tools that cognitive scientists use
to study the mind and foster learning. Thematically organized, rather than by separate disciplines,
Cognitive Science underscores the problems and solutions of cognitive science, rather than those
of the subjects that contribute to it – psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, etc. The generous use
of examples, illustrations, and applications demonstrates how theory is applied to unlock the
mysteries of the human mind. Drawing upon cutting-edge research, the text is also updated and
enhanced to incorporate new studies and key experiments since the ﬁrst edition.
