WHAT?S NEW IN THIS EDITION?
Psychology: From Inquiry to Understanding continues its commitment to emphasize the
importance of scientifi c thinking skills. In the third Canadian edition, our focus has been to
better convey the excitement of psychological science to the reader and to help the reader
connect the dots between inquiry and understanding. In addition, thanks to the ongoing
support and feedback from instructors and students of our text, the third Canadian edition
refl ects many insightful and innovative updates that we believe enhance the text. Among the
key changes made to the third Canadian edition are the following:
General Changes
? For the third Canadian edition, we took great care to revise the narrative throughout to
improve flow and to strike a better balance between presenting the value and fun of sound
psychological science on the one hand, and the warning signs and dangers of pseudoscience
on the other.
? A new ?From Inquiry to Understanding? feature in every chapter shows the power of
psychological science to answer enduring mysteries about human behaviour, emotion,
and thought. Features examine such questions as ?How do we recognize faces?? ?How do
magic tricks work?? and ?Why do we experience d?j? vu??
? Updated coverage throughout is based on the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) .
? MyPsychLab icons integrated in the text guide students to the best of our Web-based
practice quizzes, tutorials, videos, and simulations that consolidate the knowledge they
acquired from the textbook. The icons are not exhaustive?many more resources are
available than those highlighted in the text?but they draw attention to some of the most
high-interest materials available at www.pearsonmylabmastering.com .
