How does magic fool the senses? Why do people believe in conspiracy theories? And how do advertisements influence the decisions we make as consumers? Applied Cognitive Psychology answers these questions and demonstrates how cognitive psychology theory and concepts learned in the classroom can be applied to everyday life. Covering core topics such as perception, memory, attention, problem-solving, language, and decision-making, each chapter bridges theory and practice by featuring engaging case studies that show how applied cognitive psychology has benefited domains such as education, healthcare, technology, business, and public policy. This is an essential resource for undergraduate students of cognitive psychology and its real-world applications.Andrew Denovan is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Liverpool John Moores University.Kenneth G. Drinkwater is a Senior Lecturer and researcher in the Department of Psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University.Neil Dagnall is a Professor in Applied Cognitive Psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Reports of paranormal experiences vary tremendously, but are often associated with ghosts, haunted houses, and otherwise eerie circumstances. There exist both classic and modern texts on ghosts and haunted or possessed people, places and spaces; many discuss traditional ideas regarding such phenomena or utilize now-outdated research in highly academic and technical ways.This book offers a very different approach in reviews provided by a leading-edge research program devoted to who has ghostly experiences and why. With new insights both global in scale and multidisciplinary in scope, this collaboration by five researchers uncovers consistent evidence that anomalous experiences represent a very real "Haunted People Syndrome"--a term describing anomalous experiences that manifest recurrently to the same percipients and are interpreted as "ghostly"--with implications for future research across academia. The participation of new citizen scientists (the field investigators and researchers among us) is invited in furthering the exploration of paranormal mysteries. Photos and figures illustrating concepts and models are included, as is a glossary.

Neuropsychology: The Brain and Relational Approaches provides a clinically oriented introduction to neuropsychology through a relational lens. Covering historical and theoretical foundations, neuropsychological function and dysfunction, and clinical practice, this text is an essential resource for understanding and treating brain injury. Its emphasis on a relational approach to neuropsychology also helps students understand the profound impact of social and environmental factors on brain function and recovery. With fascinating real-life case studies of patients throughout, this text is ideal for students taking neuropsychology modules in psychology and related fields.R.
