• A NEW IDEA Model of Course Assessment--unique to this text--maps specific learning goals (tied to APA goals) to measurable skills students acquire in their first exposure to psychology. The model is based on an acronym, IDEA: "Identify" key figures in the history of psychology, parts of nervous system, etc.; "Define or Describe" key concepts and key features of major psychological theories; "Evaluate or Explain" underlying processes and mechanisms of behavior and mental processes; and "Apply" psychological concepts to examples.
• The IDEA Model is executed throughout each chapter, beginning with a listing of learning objectives that are formulated with active learning verbs and linked to measurable learning outcomes. The model is integrated with the test-item file, allowing instructors to select items measuring these particular outcomes--to Identify, Define or Describe, Evaluate or Explain, and Apply knowledge.
• NEW The Brain Loves a Puzzle questions engage student interest and encourage critical thinking by challenging them to think more deeply about information in the text needed to solve the puzzles.
• NEW chapter-ending visual overviews replace the narrative summaries with an appealing learning tool to help students visualize connections among key concepts in summary form.
• Based on instructors' comments noting that they prefer students to learn about the applications of psychology to physical health before they touch upon abnormal behavior, the Psychology and Health chapter has moved to an earlier position (Chapter 10). It now precedes chapters on personality and psychological disorders and treatment methods.
• Over 1,000 new citations cover new research and/or data on such topics as using reinforcement to train fish to tap a particular shape (Ch. 1), functions of glial cells (Ch. 2), the role of oxytocin in maternal bonding to infants and development of trust in other people (Ch. 2), possible human pheromones (Ch. 3), distracted driving (Ch. 4), the identity of "Little Albert" (Ch. 5), the role of sleep in memory consolidation (Ch. 6), Goddard's role as football coach at USC (Ch.7), genetic contribution to intelligence (Ch. 7), and the role of brain chemicals in regulating hunger (Ch. 8).
• New citations also describe the role of media exposure to muscular models on self-image of young boys (Ch. 8), the aging of America (Ch. 9), effects of perceived discrimination on psychological and physical health (Ch. 10), outcomes associated with Big Five personality factors (Ch. 11), personality changes through the lifespan (Ch. 11), genetic foundations of mood disorders and schizophrenia (Ch. 12), psychotherapy effectiveness (Ch. 13), relative effectiveness of antidepressants and placebos on depression (Ch. 13), and findings from a partial replication of Milgram's experiment (Ch. 14).
