In the five years since the fifth edition of this textbook was published, there have been numerous exciting developments in our under- standing of human cognition. Of greatest importance, large numbers of brain-imaging studies are revolutionising our knowledge rather than just providing us with pretty coloured pictures of the brain in action. As a consequence, the leading contemporary approach to human cognition involves studying the brain as well as behaviour. We have used the term “cognitive psychology” in the title of this book to refer to this approach, which forms the basis for our coverage of human cognition. Note, however, that the term “cognitive neuroscience” is often used to describe this approach.
