  • Updated to support student understanding of the skills required and how to master them while studying psychology with the NEW graduate competencies (GC) and psychological literacy sections at the beginning of each chapter
  • Expanded coverage of the latest topics including size illusions and Top down and bottom up processing together (chapter 4), sleep deprivation and treatment (chapter 5), memory cues and eyewitness testimony (chapter 7), and updates on the biological bases of behaviour
  • Restructured to give students concise coverage that fits the curriculum with a NEW Chapter 8, 'Thought, language and intelligence', combining chapters 7, 'Cognition and language', and 9 'Cognitive abilities' from the 2nd edition
  • Expanded coverage of important topics such as culture and identity and Indigenous psychology with the addition of the NEW author, Neil Drew, to our author team. Neil worked in collaboration and consultation with senior Indigenous people, including Dr Uncle Mick Adams and others, in the development of the content for this 3rd edition. Graeme Gower was an important contributor to this content and co-author of chapters ‘Cultural and psychology’ and ‘Indigenous Psychology’ in previous editions
  • 'Snapshot' boxes throughout the text give students interesting visual glimpses into psychology in the real world
  • 'Features list' to easily identify the interesting 'Thinking critically', 'Focus on research' and 'Linkages' topics throughout the text
  • Test your understanding as you go via the ‘In review’ boxes which summarise information in a convenient tabular format. These boxes are accompanied by fill-in-the-blank self-test questions to help students review, integrate, and comprehend large chunks of information
  • 'Thinking critically' sections in each chapter make psychological processes more explicit and accessible by providing a five-question framework for analysing evidence before drawing conclusions. Throughout the text, psychological phenomena are described in a way that first reveals the logic of the scientific enterprise, then identifies possible flaws in design or implementation, and finally leaves room for more questions and further research
  • Examine how theoretical concepts have been used in practice through the 'Applying psychology' questions at the beginning of each chapter and 'Applying psychology' icons throughout the text
  • 'Linkages' sections and icons throughout the text, highlight the network of relationships among psychology's subfields, helping students see the 'big picture' of psychology as an interrelated discipline
  • Examine the ways in which research methods have been applied to help advance understanding of behaviour and mental processes through the 'Focus on research' sections. Focus on Research is organised around five key questions: (1) What was the researcher's question? (2) How did the researcher answer the question? (3) What did the researcher find? (4) What do the results mean? And (5) What do we still need to know?
  • Understand how the different fields of psychology connect to each other by reviewing the chapter-ending 'Linkages diagram'
  • Actively try out the concepts discussed in the chapter by following the 'Try this' icons throughout the text
