Cognitive Psychology: Revisiting the Classic Studies critically
reflects upon 15 of the most influential cognitive psychology papers
ever published by researchers such as Chomsky, Loftus, Tulving, and
Stroop. This book will familiarise you with the classic studies and show
you how they have influenced subsequent research, right up to the
present day. This second edition has been updated in light of new
research and now contains comments from the living classic researchers
on the chapters about their work.
This book is ideal for those studying cognitive psychology at the
undergraduate level.
*
Revisiting the Classic Studies* is a series of texts that introduces
readers to the studies in psychology that changed the way we think about
core topics in the discipline today. It provokes students to ask more
interesting and challenging questions about the field by encouraging a
deeper level of engagement both with the details of the studies
themselves and with the nature of their contribution. Edited by leading
scholars in their field and written by researchers at the cutting edge
of these developments, the chapters in each text provide details of the
original works and their theoretical and empirical impact, and then
discuss the ways in which thinking and research have advanced in the
years since the studies were conducted.
