Cognitive Psychology: Theory, Process, and Methodology

Cognitive Psychology: Theory, Process, and Methodology

This is the McBride cognitive psychology textbook, Cognitive Psychology: Theory, Process, and Methodology, by Dawn M. McBride with J. Cooper Cutting and Corinne Zimmerman. It was published by SAGE Publications in 2022 for students taking a course on cognition.

The title sets out its three threads: the theories that explain how the mind works, the mental processes themselves, and the research methods used to study them.

Theory, process and method together

Many cognition courses ask students to understand not just what researchers have found but how they found it. By keeping methodology in view alongside theory and process, the book prepares readers to read studies and judge evidence for themselves.

Who it is written for

• Undergraduates taking cognitive psychology
• Psychology majors preparing for research methods or lab courses
• Professionals who want an accessible overview of cognition

Length and format

The book is a 432-page trade paperback in English. Its aim is to be informative and readable for anyone with an interest in the subject.

Using the book in a cognition course

Expect to read it alongside lectures on attention, memory, language and decision making, which are the usual topics in a cognitive psychology course. Because methodology is built in, the book also helps when you have to design or critique a study for a lab assignment. Students who go on to research methods courses will find the grounding useful.
