An effective learning system helps you absorb and remember important information, while numerous hands-on activities enable you to apply what you learn. This edition also includes an expanded focus on psychology in the digital world. The text is available with MindTap, a digital learning experience featuring an e-book, videos, interactive study tools and more.
