Textbooks in this field tend to rely heavily on specific experimental studies from the theoretical heritage of science to emphasize the growing progress in understanding the human mind. This textbook is no exception. Accordingly, the references in this book provide a measure of the growth of knowledge in our field. An accompanying chart illustrates the number of references from different decades, noting that reports from the last decade (since 2010) are still incomplete in this edition. This visual wonderfully confirms the extent of the changes occurring in cognitive psychology. The body of information began to grow in 1950 and has been accelerating ever since. There is no need to exclude references to classic studies that still serve their purpose. However, the fact that most research cited appeared after the first edition of this book is a testament to the rapid and accelerating growth of knowledge and information in this domain.
