Beschreibung
This version includes textbook and LaunchPad access. In Psychology: The Science of Person, Mind, and Brain, experienced teacher, researcher, and author Daniel Cervone provides students with a new and exciting way of understanding psychology. Cervone organizes material around three levels of analysis - person, mind, and brain - and employs a person-first format that consistently introduces topics at the person level: theory and research on the lives of people in sociocultural contexts. Students are able to make sense of the latest research through what they understand best: people. Key features: Think About It asks students to pause and think critically about a particular topic from the perspective of a psychological scientist The boxed In Your Life questions appear throughout each chapter in the margins to help students identify applications of the material to their own lives. What Do You Know? appears at the end of each section so students can immediately test their understanding of the material Questions for Discussion in the endofchapter material support the higher levels of Bloom's taxonomy through Level 5 Synthesis. An endofchapter SelfTest consisting of 15 multiplechoice questions is designed to challenge students through the first four levels. The pack comes with LaunchPad, containing resources for you and your student. It combines an interactive e-book with high-quality multimedia content and ready-made assessment options, including LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. Curated pre-built units are easy to assign or adapt with your own material, such as video, animations, simulations, readings, quizzes, discussion groups and more.
