What's new
P.O.W.E.R. Learning pedagogy – chapter sections include advance
organizers followed by review and critical thinking activities. The Prepare
and Organize features offer open-ended questions and section outlines that
help students orient themselves to the new material. Upon completing the section
(the Work) , students are asked to check their comprehension by answering
the questions in the Evaluate section. Rethink questions ask students to think
critically about the concepts they’ve learned and apply those concepts
to their lives and the world around them.
New Research – hundreds of new citations reflect the comprehensive
updating in this edition.
New Content – the text has been thoroughly revised to incorporate
pertinent new examples and explanations. Specific attention to advances in
behavioral genetics and evolutionary approaches to psychology have been added.
New Photo and Illustration Program – a completely new art program
enlivens the text and clarifies key material throughout the text, but especially
in the biological sections.
New Web Activities – Every chapter includes two web exercises
as well as a feature that alerts students to pertinent material on the text’s
On-line Learning Center.
