Mark H. Ashcraft Books

Mark Ashcraft investigates mathematical cognition, exploring the mental processes people use to solve math problems, from basic facts to more complex tasks involving procedures like carrying or borrowing. His work also examines how math skills and attitudes influence these mental processes, including the impact of motivation, experience, and anxiety on math performance. His research includes school-aged children, adolescents, and adults to explore the development of these skills and abilities.

"Cognition, Fourth Edition thoroughly covers the foundation areas in cognition. Reflecting the increasing use of new technologies to study memory and cognition, Ashcraft continues to integrate sections on neuroscience within individual chapter topics. A major section in the introductory chapters provides background information on neurons and the brain, so even students without formal coursework on the biological basis of cognition will be prepared for the cognitive neuroscience coverage in the text."--BOOK JACKET.
