Marvin M. Chun is the Richard M. Colgate Professor of Psychology at Yale University, with secondary appointments in the Cognitive Science Program and the Yale School of Medicine Department of Neuroscience. He received his PhD in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he won a graduate teaching award, followed by postdoctoral training at Harvard University. Professor Chun leads a cognitive neuroscience laboratory that uses functional brain imaging and machine learning to decode and predict how people see, attend, remember, and perform optimally. His research has been honored with a Troland Award from the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, an American Psychological Association Distinguished Scientific Award for an Early Career Contribution to Psychology in the area of cognition and human learning, and a Samsung Ho-Am Prize in Science (South Korea). His teaching has been recognized with both the Lex Hixon '63 Prize for Teaching Excellence in the SocialSciences and the Phi Beta Kappa William Clyde DeVane Medal for Distinguished Scholarship and Teaching in Yale College.Steven B. Most is Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia (UNSW Sydney), with an affiliate appointment in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Delaware. He received his BA in psychology from Brandeis University and PhD in psychology from Harvard University, where he won graduate teaching awards, followed by postdoctoral training at Vanderbilt and Yale Universities. Dr. Most leads the Motivated Attention and Perception Lab at UNSW Sydney, where his team uses behavioral and physiological measures to understand how attention, motivation, and emotion shape what people see, remember, and do, as well as how cognition affects safety and well-being in the real world (e.g., road safety). Dr. Most's research has been recognized through fellowships and awards from the National Institutes of Health, theAustralian Research Council, and the New York Academy of Sciences, and with an appointment as Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science. His teaching and mentoring have been recognized with the Alpha Lambda Delta Excellence in Teaching Award at the University of Delaware and both a Postgraduate Supervisor Award and an Outstanding Postgraduate Supervisor Award at UNSW Sydney.

This book is a complete, compelling, and modern description cognitive psychology. The material is clearly described in a fresh and lucid manner.
