Reviews"This textbook has a fresh feel to it with respect to the selection of topics, scholarly quality, and presentation style. The writing is clear, engaging, and at appropriate level of complexity for an introductory text. The chapters are informative and fun to read."--Shahram Ghiasinejad, University of Central Florida, "This textbook has a fresh feel to it with respect to the selection of topics, scholarly quality, and presentation style. The writing is clear, engaging, and at appropriate level of complexity for an introductory text. The chapters are informative and fun to read." - Shahram Ghiasinejad, University of Central Florida"The text is very well organized and covers the relevant material in a compelling manner. The language chapter, which in most cognitive psychology texts does not present a full picture of psycholinguistics, is particularly comprehensive and tells an interesting story." - Louisa Slowiaczek, Bowdoin College"The book is very accessible and presents a refreshed view of cognitive psychology. The integration of real world examples is specific strength that makes this book stand out." - Arturo Hernandez, University of Houston"This text is accessible, yet comprehensive and challenging. The concepts are organized well, and explanations strike a balance that is not overly simplified nor excessively detailed." - Brandi Emerick, Indiana University"This textbook is well organized and well written. It has a good combination of classic, groundbreaking, and recent research. Students will find the textbook easy to comprehend and a pleasure to read." - Robert Hines, University of Arkansas at Little Rock
