Third Edition

K. Gilhooly, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland
Description
The Third Edition builds upon the previous edition to provide a comprehensive, coherent, and up-to-date introduction to the area of thought
processes in normal human adults. The major topics covered are: thinking directed at solving well-defined problems, and less directed
forms of thinking, such as daydreaming, and creative thinking. These topics are predominantly discussed from an information processing
approach, which is currently dominant in cognitive psychology. Also included in this text are historical background, progress achieved
within the information processing approach to thinking, and promising directions for future research.
Audience
Undergraduate honors students; beginning graduate students; researchers and teachers in cognitive science, cognitive psychology, education, and artificial intelligence.
