This is an introduction to cognitive science intended for use as a
textbook for advanced undergraduate and/or graduate-level courses.
In it, the author presents the major experiments and theoretical
arguments in cognitive psychology in some detail. Where
appropriate, alternative theoretical arguments are offered, and in
some cases the author explains that there are interesting questions
to which psychologists do not yet have the answers.
This book is packaged in an innovative manner. The 170-page
printed textbook is actually a precis of a much longer manuscript,
which is produced in the form of a CD-ROM bound into the back of
the book. Each chapter of the precis references the more detailed
coverage and full-color illustrations which are contained on the
CD-ROM, which is provided for readers who wish to delve more deeply
into the material.

In this revised and updated edition of Hunt's classic textbook,
Human Intelligence, two research experts explain how key scientific
studies have revealed exciting information about what intelligence
is, where it comes from, why there are individual differences, and
what the prospects are for enhancing it. The topics are chosen
based on the weight of evidence, allowing readers to evaluate what
ideas and theories the data support. Topics include IQ testing,
mental processes, brain imaging, genetics, population differences,
sex, aging, and likely prospects for enhancing intelligence based
on current scientific evidence. Readers will confront ethical
issues raised by research data and learn how scientists pursue
answers to basic and socially relevant questions about why
intelligence is important in everyday life. Many of the answers
will be surprising and stimulate readers to think constructively
about their own views.

Mathematical thinking provides a clear, crisp way of defining
problems. Our whole technology is based on it. What is less
appreciated is that mathematical thinking can also be applied to
problems in the social and behavioral sciences. This book
illustrates how mathematics can be used to understand human and
animal behavior, using examples in psychology, sociology,
economics, ecology, and even marriage counseling.
