The completely revised and expanded 4th edition is newly edited by Andrea Kiesel, a leading scientist of the younger generation in Experimental General Psychology, together with Hans Spada, who was responsible for the earlier editions. In the course of the revision, the chapters on "Perception and Attention," "Speaking and Language Comprehension," and "Motivation" have been newly created, as well as the chapters on "Memory and Knowledge" and "Problem Solving, Thinking.".
