Margaret Matlin and new co-author Thomas Farmerï¿½s Cognition demonstrates how cognitive processes are relevant to everyday, real-world experiences, and frequently examines how cognition can be applied to other disciplines such as clinical psychology, social psychology, consumer psychology, education, communication, business, medicine, and law. The 9th edition continues to relate cognitive topics to applications in everyday life. This edition is fully updated with research and additional anecdotes. It also includes more research on neuroscience. This text is an unbound, three hole punched version.

The Psychology of Women is written within a lifespan developmental framework, offering a flexible yet logical organization. Four main themes are traced throughout the book, engaging the student and allowing greater continuity across the diverse topics explored in the text. The new edition brings this dynamic and interestingly written text up-to-date and presents new material on hot topics in psychology and the media. Features: * Organized around a lifespan-developmental framework. * Four themes that are traced throughout the text: Psychological differences are generally small and inconsistent, People react differently to men and women, Women are less visible than men in many important areas, Women show a wide range of variations. * Demonstrations that students can try themselves provide vivid illustration of important material. * Over 1,000 references from 1990 to the present. New to this edition: * More complete coverage of different kinds of feminism. * Abundant new material on current topics including cognitive gender comparisons, women and work, lesbians, bisexuals, single women, and marriage patterns among people of colour. * New or revised material on teacher's classroom behaviour, ethnic identity during adolescence, sexual activities, psychological adjustment following abortion, infertility, gender bias in surgery, hysterectomies, sexually transmitted diseases, depression, eating disorders, therapy, violence in other cultures and the prevalence of violence in North America, and menopause. * New or rearranged chapter on stereotypes, and current status of important issues (final chapter).

Cengage Learning'

The book is reasonably organized and up-to-date. 1 It incorporates instructional design features that promote learning, is instructor-friendly, and is readable for undergraduate students.The text is organized into thirteen chapters that cover the familiar landscape of cognition. I suggest using Amazon's "Search inside this book" link to verify coverage of key topics in the detailed Table of Contents. By the author's report, the 7th edition includes "2,064 references; 806 are new to the seventh edition." The book's instructional design features are better than average. A large glossary aids study and reinforces consistency in terminology across chapters. The demonstrations throughout the book are well-crafted, allowing students to experiment with new concepts quickly as they read. Placing summaries at the end of each chapter section (rather than only at chapter end) is an excellent idea, encouraging more frequent review of smaller amounts of related material. The remaining end-of-chapter material--review questions, keywords and recommended readings--is standard, but well executed.Instructor friendly features count with me too, since they make my life easier. Matlin has been largely successful in making each chapter self-contained, allowing the instructor to shuffle the order with minimal pain for students. Her use of primary research sources enables motivated students to dive into the field's research literature for term papers or extra reading, even if their searching skills are not yet well developed. The test bank is helpful addition and is well integrated with the text itself.Maitlin is both praised and criticized for her writing style, seen as either accessible or chatty.  Her style is engaging and her'personal examples helpful and interesting. This text is recommended for use in an undergraduate cognition class.
