Παρουσίαση

Do we really only use 10% of our brains? Can we learn in our sleep? Does money make us happier?

Written with irresistible enthusiasm and humour by world-renowned researchers and popular science authors, this revised second edition includes:

- All-new 'Psychology and Me' videos featuring an international range of psychologists talking about their fascinating careers and giving students advice for the future
- 'Hot Science' boxes discussing cutting-edge research and neuroscience, and 'The Real World' vignettes demonstrating psychology in everyday life
- Increased coverage of research methods, including new 'Stats Fact' boxes addressing often contested issues in statistics
- A number of additional sections including those on executive functions, epigenetics, childhood reminiscing, self-esteem and inflated praise, and gender bias in motor development. (From the publisher)
