For courses in Cognitive Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience,
Learning and Memory, Philosophy of Mind, and Philosophy of
Psychology. The first book that fully integrates information about
the brain and neural processing into the standard curriculum in
cognitive psychology. Based on a need for a text that could
accurately, productively, and seamlessly integrate information on
both the brain and neural processing, Edward E. Smith (Columbia
University) and Stephen M. Kosslyn (Harvard University) created
Cognitive Psychology: Mind and Brain 1.e. Without question, the
study of cognition has progressed enormously over the past decade.
Most importantly, much of the recent progress in cognitive studies
has come from the advent of cognitive neuroscience, which uses
neuroscientific methods and data to address psychological issues.
However, throughout years of academic teaching, the authors came to
realize that no currently available book was able to summarize and
make accessible the major findings, theories, and research the
field had produced. Now, in this text's first edition, these issues
have been addressed. Using findings in neuroscience to illuminate
and motivate key distinctions in cognitive psychology, the authors
have written a cognitive psychology book that is informed by
neuroscience - the first of its kind and one poised to set a new
standard in undergraduate cognitive studies.
Giving good presentations is not just common sense. Cognitive
neuroscientist Stephen M. Kosslyn shows how to make presentations
work better based on how our brains work. Where many books focus on
how to create a first draft, Better PowerPoint gives you quick
steps to improve one you already have.
. 8 key rules that are easy to remember and use
. Clear principles about how to design effective slides based on
well-established scientific data
. Quick steps to sharpen and strengthen your presentation
. Easy-to-use checklists guide you through each aspect of your
presentation
. Chapters are structured to help you prioritize the most effective
edits
. Memorable examples and illustrations to show what works, and what
doesn't
. Lessons in what to fix can also help you create better first
drafts faster.
If you have a PowerPoint presentation that is not giving you the
results you want, take advantage of what scientific research can
tell you about how your audience is seeing and thinking about what
you have to say."
