Features

Achieve

Built around the most common issues faced in the classroom, Achieve gives students a complete e-book with all interactive features including, LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. For instructors, Achieve offers everything they need to quickly set up a course, customize content for your syllabus, create presentations and lectures, assign and assess readings and activities, and guide the progress of individual students and the class as a whole.
Featured in Achieve
Data Visualization Activities for each chapter help students develop quantitative reasoning skills by asking them to manipulate data in an interactive graph. In each activity, students must evaluate information and data from published research in order to answer multiple-choice questions aimed at critical thinking.
Achieve Read & Practice
E-book + LearningCurve adaptive quizzing
Achieve Read & Practice marries Macmillan Learning’s mobile, accessible e-book with the acclaimed LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. It is an easy-to-use yet exceptionally powerful teaching and learning option that streamlines the process of increasing student engagement and understanding—and the cost is significantly less than that of a printed book.Learning Outcomes (New)—for the first time, each section is organized around Learning Outcomes. Each section also ends with questions that assess the outcomes.
IN THE TEXTBOOK
Designed with learning and memory research in mind, each chapter section begins with Learning Outcomes to guide students as they read. These outcomes underscore the core concepts and help to make them memorable. The goal is for students to come away with more than a collection of facts and to see psychology as a science applicable to their everyday lives.
NEW! A World of Difference—new feature on individual differences.
Hot Science—highlights important and interesting new research.
The Real World—this feature highlights applications of psychological research to real world contexts.
Other Voices—Excerpts of great writing about psychology, showing how important psychology is to the public discussion and how much psychology bears on issues from a variety of domains.
Changing Minds questions—these are questions at the end of the chapter that ask students to confront a scenario using information from the chapter.
New to This Edition
A World of Difference—this new feature highlights individual differences in cultures around the globe.
A written-from-scratch first chapter introduces the field as a compelling story.
A new section, “The Reliability Restriction: “It Is Likely That…” in Chapter 2 discusses the importance of the ability to replicate studies.
“Hot” topics throughout, for example: Hot Science: Why Is There an Opioid Epidemic and What Can We Do About It?

Authors

Daniel L. Schacter
Daniel Schacter is William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. Dan received his B.A. degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He subsequently developed a keen interest in amnesic disorders associated with various kinds of brain damage. He continued his research and education at the University of Toronto, where he received his Ph.D. in 1981. He taught on the faculty at Toronto for the next six years before joining the psychology department at the University of Arizona in 1987. In 1991, he joined the faculty at Harvard University. His research explores the relation between conscious and unconscious forms of memory, the nature of distortions and errors in remembering, and how we use memory to imagine future events. Many of Schacter's studies are summarized in his 1996 book, Searching for Memory: The Brain, The Mind, and The Past, and his 2001 book, The Seven Sins of Memory: How the Mind Forgets and Remembers, both winners of the APA's William James Book Award. Schacter has also received a number of awards for teaching and research, including the Harvard-Radcliffe Phi Beta Kappa Teaching Prize, the Warren Medal from the Society of Experimental Psychologists, and the Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions from the American Psychological Association. In 2013, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.

Daniel T. Gilbert

Daniel M. Wegner
Daniel Wegner was the John Lindsley Professor of Psychology in Memory of William James at Harvard University. He received his B.S. in 1970 and Ph.D. in 1974, both from Michigan State University. He began his teaching career at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, before his appointments at the University of Virginia in 1990 and then Harvard University in 2000. He was a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the recipient of the William James Award from the Association for Psychological Science, the Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions from the American Psychological Association, and the Distinguished Scientist Award from the Society of Experimental Social Psychology. His research focused on thought suppression and mental control, transactive memory in relationships and groups, and the experience of conscious will. His work on thought suppression and consciousness served as the basis of two popular books, White Bears and Other Unwanted Thoughts and the Illusion of Conscious Will, both of which were named Choice Outstanding Academic Books. He died in 2013.

Matthew K. Nock
Matthew Nock is a Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. Matt received his B.A. from Boston University (1995) and his Ph.D. from Yale University (2003), and he completed his clinical internship at Bellevue Hospital and the New York University Child Study Center (2003). Matt joined the faculty of Harvard University in 2003 and has been there ever since. While an undergraduate, Matt became very interested in the question of why people do things to intentionally harm themselves, and he has been conducting research aimed at answering this question ever since. His research is multidisciplinary in nature and uses a range of methodological approaches (e.g., epidemiologic surveys, laboratory-based experiments, and clinic-based studies) to better understand how these behaviors develop, how to predict them, and how to prevent their occurrence. He has received multiple teaching awards at Harvard and also four early career awards recognizing his research, and in 2011, he was named a MacArthur Fellow.
