Cognitive Monthly
Cognitive Monthly is an in-depth mini e-book that you can download and read on your computer, iPod, iPhone, e-reader, or any device that can handle a PDF. Each month we cover a different cognitive psychology issue.
Although based on posts that have appeared in Cognitive Daily, it goes beyond what's in the blog, synthesizing and incorporating interviews and other insights.
June 2009: Duke Nukem Comes to Dinnner: Do Violent Games Make Violent Kids?

May 2009: The Illusion of Theater
Do theatrical productions take advantage of the quirks of human cognition? How do the seemingly intuitive notions of theater professionals compare to the scientific findings of psychology researchers? In this report, we go behind the scenes of a Royal Shakespeare Company production, interview director Fiona Buffini, and discuss psychology research in-depth to find out.
