In Cognitive Skills You Need for the 21st Century, Stephen Reed discusses a Future of Jobs report that contrasts trending and declining skills required by the workforce in the year 2022. Trending skills include analytical thinking and innovation, active learning strategies, creativity, reasoning, and complex problem solving. Part One on Acquiring Knowledge contains chapters on cognitive processes that are critical for learning. Part Two on Organizing Knowledge explains how matrices, networks, and hierarchies offer contrasting methods for visualizing organization. Part Three on Reasoning discusses visuospatial reasoning, reasoning from imperfect knowledge, and reasoning strategies. Part Four on Problem Solving focuses on the knowledge and strategies required to solve different types of problems, including those that involve design and dynamic changes. Part Five on Artificial Intelligence contains chapters on the Data Sciences, Explanatory Models, the Information Sciences, and General AI. Part Six on Education consists of three chapters on educating 21st century skills at all levels of instruction. Research in Cognitive Psychology, Education, and AI provides the foundation for acquiring these skills.

Thinking Visually

Product Description 
Thinking Visually documents the many ways pictures, visual images, and spatial metaphors influence our thinking. The book discusses recent empirical, theoretical, and applied contributions that support the view that visual thinking occurs not only where we expect to find it, but also where we do not. Much of comprehending language, for instance, depends on visual simulations of words or on spatial metaphors that provide a foundation for conceptual understanding. 
This edition has been fully updated throughout and features new coverage of a range of topical and fascinating areas of research, including aesthetics, visual narratives, communicating health risks, dreams, clinical imagery, mathematical games, and the influence of action on perception. It also features a new chapter on Mixed Reality to showcase the many exciting developments in this area. 
The broad coverage, colorful figures, and research discoveries provide a solid foundation for understanding visual thinking across a wide spectrum of activities. It will be an essential read for all students and researchers interested in Visual Thinking.\nReview 
"The updated version of Thinking Visually is visually beautiful, as befits the topic. Readers will relish this understandable overview guide to an increasingly important field in psychology, education, design, communication and engineering." - Nora S. Newcombe, Professor of Psychology, Temple University 
"Dr Stephen Reed provides a rare combination of an exceptionally knowledgeable cognitive psychologist and an equally exceptionally clear writer. Both characteristics shine through in the 2nd edition of Thinking Visually. This interesting book should be in the library of everyone concerned with the topic of visual thinking. I can strongly recommend it." - John Sweller, Emeritus Professor of Educational Psychology, University of New South Wales\nIf you are reading this, you probably care about how people think, communicate and learn. You might also believe that visual representation is one of the most important and perhaps underappreciated aspects of these phenomena. In that case, you are in for a treat. In this book (through words and images), Stephen Reed provides a wide-ranging, up to date and readable discussion of visual thinking. The topics range from cave paintings to augmented reality (and so much in between). The accounts of evidence and a wide range of theoretical perspectives are complemented by examples to bring the arguments to life. I strongly recommend you dive in. - Professor Shaaron Ainsworth, Director:Learning Sciences Research Institute, University of Nottingham\nAbout the Author

Dr. Reed's Seventh Edition of COGNITION: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS focuses on the theories that underlie cognitive phenomena as well as empirical data that establishes a traditional, information processing approach to cognitive psychology. This structure allows undergraduates to discover the direct relevance of cognitive psychology to many of their daily activities. The features of the text incorporate unparalleled scholarship with a distinctive clear voice that allows for the emphasis of both contemporary and classical research through real-life examples and experiments. The author incorporates the ever-evolving field and makes the material relevant to students' lives by including popular articles from current well-known magazines and newspapers. As in past editions, all of these materials have been revised to maintain a high degree of currency and accuracy. Three criteria were used to create the Seventh Edition: first, the material has to make an important contribution to cognitive psychology; second, the material has to be accessible to the reader; and third, the material needs to be understandable and interesting. Through the incorporation of these three criteria, the text becomes an invaluable tool in learning cognitive psychology.
