This fully updated 9th edition places social, economic and political forces of change alongside psychology’s internal theoretical and empirical arguments. It utilises a critical lens to illuminate the way in which the external world has shaped the development of psychology and, in turn, how psychology has shaped society.

Fundamentals of Cognitive Science draws on research from psychology, philosophy, artificial intelligence, linguistics, and neuroscience to provide an engaging and student-friendly introduction to this interdisciplinary field. Whilst structured around traditional cognitive psychology, the book also looks at cognitive neuroscience, and magic.
