New to this Edition
Framework for Learning and Assessment: Conforming to recommendations of an APA task force report on undergraduate student competencies, every component of the text and support materials is tied to the mastery of specific psychological concepts. The book forms the core of this framework, but its power to enrich and empirically demonstrate learning comes from a unique library of electronic interactivities (with video), conceptually based quizzes, and an easy-to-use electronic gradebook, all specifically created for this new edition and available both on the PsychInteractive student CD-ROM and on the text's companion website. Added questions in both Test Banks and materials in the Instructor’s Manual enable instructors to effectively employ the interactivities in their teaching.
Modular Organization: The text breaks up the 18 major topics that formerly made up the chapters of the book into 60 short, self-contained modules for optimal study and learning, so instructors can tailor the book to the specific needs of their course.
New Content:The text incorporates pertinent new examples and explanations, with more than 1000 new citations. New content includes material on brain and behavior, the mapping of the human genome, hormone replacement therapy, and much more!
Visual Essays: Six visual essays provide a combined pictorial and verbal synopsis of major points, enhancing student understanding and aiding recall and application.
