Neuroscience In Your Life. This new feature, which appears in each chapter, emphasizes the importance of neuroscientific research within the various subfields of the discipline and in students’ lives. Compelling brain scans, with both caption and textual explanation, illustrate significant neuroscientific findings that are increasingly influencing the field of psychology.

Study Alerts. Throughout the text, marginal notes point out especially important and difficult concepts and topics. These Study Alerts offer suggestions for learning the material effectively and for studying for tests.

Updated Research. The new edition incorporates over 1000 new citations, most from the year 2000 or later. This includes expanded coverage of neuroscience and behavior, genetic foundations of language, traumatic memory, autism, and new treatment approaches to psychological disorders.

Psych 2.0. An innovative combination of both print and online components, the Psych 2.0 web site and accompanying guidebook combine the best of a study guide with the best of online interactivity. The Psych 2.0 Online Experience Guide, written by Tammy Rahhal of the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Matthew Schulkind of Amherst College, provides a synopsis, pre-activity TIPS, and post-activity questions for each activity. The activities themselves offer experiential, observational, and visual learning opportunities in over ninety key concepts in introductory psychology.
