内容简介

The study of cognition has experienced rapid growth in the last decade and is a topic that is fundamental both to the science of psychology and to its applications in real world problems. Experimental Cognitive Psychology and its Applications bridges the gap between basic research findings in cognition and practice in the field, by bringing together a group of distinguished experimental psychologists who show how their findings can be applied in daily life. Chapters cover key areas of cognitive psychological research including learning, memory, information processing, discourse, and knowledge representation. The contributors show how basic research in these areas has applications in the areas of mathematical problem solving, task requirements during training, cross-cultural investigations of intelligence, the investigation of recall, and the improvement in educational methods. For use by experimental psychologists; practitioners involved in training, education, and testing; and students and researchers interested in the core issues of human cognition.
