Students First. Designed for student success, Feldman provides students with a powerful learning framework to help them connect, engage, and feel excited about psychology.
Using a revolutionary revision process, Understanding Psychology is a fully integrated learning system that brings the "Students First" goal to a new level. With the adaptive learning program, SmartBook(TM), every student has a unique experience personalized to their needs.

The 13th edition continues with Feldman's accessible pedagogy and hallmark research, as well as his modules-within-chapters format that is both manageable for students and allows every professor the flexibility to assign and cover what they want.
