Biological Psychology's approach to its material is centered around tenets of effective presentation, making it accessible to all students regardless of their level of scientific preparation. Biological Psychology draws readers into the content with chapter opening Brain Scene Investigations that pose a neuroscience mystery and end with a brief overview of the exciting material that awaits students. Real world clinical case studies reinforce concepts while highlighting the importance of context and current research. Context Matters boxes strengthen students' critical thinking skills by presenting detailed accounts of research studies and demonstrating the varying effects that relevant variables have on specific dependent variables. To further integrate research techniques and expose students to experimental design, Laboratory Explorations outline how different methods apply to various types of research questions. Through this mechanism of storytelling and contextual organization, Biological Psychology conveys the latest information about the brain's design and psychology that cater to a wide range of readers. An enhanced e-book with embedded videos and self-assessment further engages students in the content.
