Text arrived in fair condition but seems outdated in some aspects. The information is clear and precise and it is useful for my coursework. I was assigned this text for a graduate level course and feel that it does not live up to my expectations regarding rigorous evaluation of the field. It is more appropriate for an introductory course I feel. However, this text was valuable in solidifying the foundations and principles of the field. It is well written for the audience I think it was meant for but it is more of a review for more experienced learners.
This one of the better written text books I've used. It's written in a logical and almost narrative style. It makes the reading easier each chapter building upon the previous. The illustrations also make the comprehension of complex topics easier and more complete.
It's a pretty good read. I used this for a Cog Psych class and took Cog Neuropsych at the same time so there were a lot of overlapping sections. I actually found my other book to be a little more clear when dealing with specific things like visual perception pathways etc. This one is good with explaining concepts like working memory and attention, and it also gives good examples and information on past studies and their current impact on the field. This book has some good info but some of it is a little bit off though.
Rented this book from for my undergrad studies. I'm so impressed with the rental experience that I will be renting all my future texts from . I received the book super fast and it was in excellent condition. The text is a good read, easy to follow along with diagrams to help comprehend the material.
I bought the book for the kindle trying to save some money HUGE MISTAKE. Many of the images and diagrams are grey boxes that say "Image not available due to copyright restrictions". What am I paying the publisher for if not the contents of the book? I wouldn't waste your money on the kindle version. I'll be seeking some kind of reimbursement. This has definitely impacted my grade in the course as of my first exam. Much of the critical information is displayed in the tables and image captions that are unable to be viewed.
Easy reading for field of Cognitive Psychology. As a student I would recommend it to instructors.Easy to understand, well formatted, fluid and easy to self assess.
In great condition!
Very comprehensive!
