Fundamentals of Cognitive Psychology by R. Reed Hunt and Henry C. Ellis is a brief core text with a value conscious price tag for courses in Cognition and Cognitive Psychology. The text presents detailed coverage of memory and emotion in a friendly and accessible style. By providing a discussion of selected experiments rather than an exhaustive survey of the empirical literature, Hunt and Ellis enable students to appreciate the intricacies of problem solving activity in cognitive psychology. The text uses a thematic approach throughout, and incorporates real world examples, case studies, and useful examples of experiments on specific topics.

The sixth edition of Fundamentals of Cognitive Psychology has been thoroughly updated and includes new information in many areas including cognitive neuroscience, the foundations of cognitive psychology, and problem solving and reasoning. An updated design and art program enhance the appeal of this already very accessible text.
