Discovering Behavioral Neuroscience: An Introduction to Biological Psychology

INTERIM SUMMARIES ALLOW STUDENTS TO CHECK THEIR MASTERY BEFORE ADVANCING. Each chapter features two to three interim summaries that encourage learners to pause and ensure their comprehension of the material before proceeding. The important points highlighted in these summaries correspond to the chapter's learning objectives and review questions. Most of these summaries also include a quick reference table that coordinates content with key concepts from the previous section.

REVISED BOXED FEATURES ENGAGE STUDENTS AND PROMOTE CRITICAL THINKING. Each chapter includes four types of boxed features to emphasize the relevance of what students are learning and prompt deeper thinking. These intriguing learning features include: "Thinking Ethically," "Connecting to Research," "Behavioral Neuroscience Goes to Work" and "Neuroscience in Everyday Life."

CHAPTER CONTENT INTEGRATES WITH RELATED TOPICS THROUGHOUT THE BOOK. To emphasize how the material fits together and to promote ongoing review, the author references material in other chapters that is relevant to the topic students are studying. With Infuse digital resources, these references may include hyperlinks that allow readers to easily reference other parts of the book and review, if necessary, before proceeding to new material.

MEANINGFUL CHAPTER REVIEW REINFORCES UNDERSTANDING AND AIDS IN TEST PREPARATION. End-of-chapter thought-provoking questions can also serve as essay or discussion prompts. This edition's updated Chapter Reviews also include the lists of key terms with page references to assist in study.
