Henry Gleitman Bücher

This work, aimed at undergraduates, has been updated with fully integrated coverage of the issues at the forefront of modern psychology, specifically neuroscience and the brain, evolutionary psychology and culture. An appendix on research methods has been added, which encourages readers to think critically about evidence they encounter in their daily lives.

Basic Psychology was designed as a more accessible edition of its parent text, Psychology . Over the course of four editions, Basic Psychology has developed a distinct personality and a following all its own. The addition of Daniel Reisberg and Alan Fridlund to the Gleitman team signals a commitment to meeting the demands of a changing field. While preserving the clear writing and thoughtful pedagogy that distinguished the book in earlier editions, the Fifth Edition provides cutting-edge coverage of new developments in psychology.
