This best-selling textbook, written by award-winning educator and
past president of the APA, Diane Halpern, applies theory and
research from the learning sciences to teach students the thinking
skills they need to succeed in today's world. This new edition
retains features from earlier editions that have helped its readers
become better thinkers. A rigorous academic grounding based in
cognitive psychology is presented in a clear writing style with a
humorous tone and supported by numerous practical examples and
anecdotes.
"Thought & Knowledge, Fourth Edition" has been revised to help
students meet the challenges of a global neighborhood and make
meaningful conclusions form the overwhelming quantity of
information now available at the click of a mouse. The skills
learned with this text will help students learn more efficiently,
research more productively, and present logical, informed
arguments.
New features include:
*Template for Making Arguments. This is a crucial preparation tool
for students in any subject area. For those planning on continuing
to Graduate School, this feature is an essential reference. The
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) now requires that all test takers
write an argument on a contemporary topic.
*Concept Maps provide students with strategies to clarify complex
information and retain long-term knowledge.
*Contemporary Examples, throughout the text, relate current events
to the book discussions.
*Explanations on How to Evaluate Information found on Web
sites.

Thinking, Fourth Edition" is filled with new exercises to reinforce
learning and practice newly acquired skills. This workbook can be
purchased in a student package with the text or as a separate item.
"Thought & Knowledge, Fourth Edition" is appropriate for use as
a textbook in critical thinking courses offered in departments of
psychology, philosophy, English, humanities, or as a supplement in
any course where critical thinking is emphasized.
