Exploring Psychology in Modules, 12th Edition provides a foundational survey of behavioral science and internal mental processes. Written by David G. Myers and C. Nathan DeWall, this textbook supports psychology course students in analyzing empirical research methods and core behavioral principles across introductory college curricula.

The material advances systematically through major subfields of the discipline. Initial chapters examine biological tools, neural networks, genetics, and states of consciousness. The text then addresses developmental milestones from prenatal stages through adulthood, sensory perception, classical and operant conditioning, and memory construction. Subsequent sections investigate human thought, intelligence dynamics, motivational drives, emotion, health, social thinking, personality perspectives, and clinical disorders.

Published by Worth Publishers in 2022, this edition divides standard curriculum content into 49 brief segments to facilitate steady reading assignments. Six dedicated appendices covering statistical reasoning, occupational applications, historical timelines, career options, module reviews, and testing effect answer keys offer added study utility.
