《發現心靈科學》（AP 版）第 3 版反映了 21 世紀的心理科學以及心理學作為一門中心科學的應有地位——該學科的工作為許多其他科學領域提供了基礎材料。心理科學本質上也是跨領域的。
在一個日益由跨領域團隊主導的科學界中，學生將不再把心理學看作一個孤立的研究領域，而是一個將一系列知識整合成真正的心理科學的領域。
Cacioppo’s Discovering The Science of Mind, AP Edition, 3rd Edition, reflects psychological science in the 21st century and psychology’s rightful place as a hub science—a discipline whose work provides foundational material for many other scientific fields. Psychological science is also inherently interdisciplinary. In a scientific community increasingly dominated by interdisciplinary teams, students will see psychology not as an isolated area of study but as one that integrates a range of knowledge into a true science of mind. The AP Edition, 3rd Edition provides AP-style questions at the end of each chapter.
