By describing experiments that control, manipulate and measure mental processes, this book shows how we can discover the answers to key questions about the mind, such as: 'Can we focus attention on more than one thing?' and 'Is language unique to humans?' Written in a down-to-earth narrative prose that avoids jargon, addresses the reader directly and draws on the authors' unique style ('suppose Willingham split his pants at a junior high dance ...'), this text takes complex experiments in cognitive psychology and describes them for undergraduate students. Willingham has a record of excellence in translating cognitive psychology research for K-12 teachers with his bestselling Why Don't Students Like School? and other popular books. This book applies the clear and approachable prose style towards building foundational knowledge in cognitive psychology for undergraduates.

The internationally recognized contributors offer insights from different theoretical perspectives and describe novel methodological approaches, focusing on variations across different developmental stages, contexts, and cultures.

Brownian motion is an important topic in various applied fields where the analysis of random events is necessary. Introducing Brownian motion from a statistical viewpoint, this detailed text examines the distribution of quadratic functionals of Brownian motion and demonstrates the utility of this approach for time series analysis.

Presuming only a familiarity with standard statistical theory and the basics of stochastic processes, this book brings together a set of important statistical tools in one accessible resource for researchers and graduate students. Readers also benefit from online appendices, which provide probability density graphs and solutions to the chapter problems.
