Drawing on teaching and learning research, the Sixth Edition
provides new tools to improve students' reading, focus and
self-assessment. Chapters are now divided into brief "study units",
each of which concludes with a self-test question to increase
comprehension. NEW "Putting Psychology to Work" features show
students how to apply psychology concepts to future careers. Our
formative, adaptive learning tool, InQuizitive, and our online
psychology labs, ZAPS 2.0, provide a hands-on approach to assessing
students' understanding.
Psychology in Your Life, Fourth Edition, provides instructors and
students with new research-based, inclusive solutions to today's
teaching challenges. A new IMPACT learning scaffold guides students
on how to best learn and retain course material and new content
addresses diversity both historically and in the field today. The
content, pedagogy and digital tools reflect the new learning
outcomes and themes of the APA IPI. InQuizitive evidence-based
assessment helps students build their comprehension of core
concepts, while new Testmaker helps instructors create customised,
outcome-driven summative assessments. A new interactive 3D brain,
new interactive neuron animations and new ZAPS 3.0 interactive labs
make the psychological concepts interactive and accessible for
students.
W. W. Norton is excited to announce that award-winning authors
Elizabeth Phelps and Elliot Berkman will bring their ideas and
energy to Psychological Science 7e. Our authors are committed to
encouraging students to learn and evaluate psychology through the
lens of methods, replication and the open science era. Looking
beyond the text, Liz and Elliot applied their experience with the
introductory psychology course to all aspects of the teaching and
learning tools, including InQuizitive's adaptive assessment, new
ZAPS 3.0 interactive labs with instructor support, a hands-on
approach to visualising brain science through a new interactive 3D
brain and exciting new interactive neuron animations. They are
committed to introducing students to a more modern view of the
field-one that shows the real-world impact of psychology and
showcases the work of diverse researchers throughout.
Master teacher Sarah Grison has set the new standard for
introductory psychology texts. Through a NEW study unit format
based on learning research, concepts are presented in a
pedagogically consistent, accessible way. Learning Goal Activities
and InQuizitive, Norton's adaptive quizzing tool, engage students
in active learning. The NEW High Impact Practices (HIP): A Teaching
Guide for Psychology provides research-based teaching. An
innovative NEW collection of animated Concept Videos helps students
visualise the most challenging topics.
The prevailing orthodoxy in brain science is that since physical
laws govern our physical brains, physical laws therefore govern our
behaviour and even our conscious selves. Free will is meaningless,
goes the mantra; we live in a 'determined' world. Not so, argues
the renowned neuroscientist Michael S. Gazzaniga as he explains how
the mind, 'constrains' the brain just as cars are constrained by
the traffic they create. Writing with what Steven Pinker has called
'his trademark wit and lack of pretension,' Gazzaniga ranges across
neuroscience, psychology and ethics to show how incorrect it is to
blame our brains for our behaviour. Even given the latest insights
into the physical mechanisms of the mind, he explains, we are
responsible agents who should be held accountable for our actions,
because responsibility is found in how people interact, not in
brains. An extraordinary book, combining a light touch with
profound implications, Who's in Charge? is a lasting contribution
from one of the leading thinkers of our time.
Recent, stunning discoveries suggest that natural selection
affects not only physical characteristics but also mental
processes, from learning to substance abuse. Michael S. Gazzaniga
reveals that just as the environment selects those organisms most
likely to survive, within the brain the environment selects
pre-existing capacities from a massive inventory of
possibilities.
