This dictionary provides a comprehensive and in-depth account of cognitive psychology in 140 alphabetically arranged entries. Cognitive psychology has continued to gain influence within the subject as a whole and mainstream cognitive psychology has made progress both theoretically and empirically. The cognitive approach is of increasing importance in various other areas of psychology and in applied psychology. Entries, written by specialists in each field, are encyclopedic in style and written at considerable length to cover most of the more important areas to which cognitive psychology has made a major contribution. Subject areas dealt with include decision making, developmental psychology, emotion, intelligence, language, personality and social psychology. The ways in which the cognitive approach has revolutionized applied psychology are also dealt with. Some of the major applied areas which have benefitted from the insights of cognitive psychology are: acquiring expertise, ageing, amnesia, clinical psychology, cognitive science, eye-witness testimony, human factors, neuropsychology, stress and student learning.
The work is intended for researchers, lecturers and students of psychology.
