Essential but difficultEssential but difficult
Although I think this book is useful because it contains a clear evaluation of each section and a glossary at the end of the book, I think the writing style is quit complicated and doesn't really invite me to read any further then necessary.
Great textbook!A must have for psychology students and anyone interested in how our brain works, how we perceive object and faces, how we make 'irrational' decisions, how we develop language, etc.
A comprehensive text written in a friendly manner.
A good book to have for Psychology.Can't fault how useful this book is; looks brand new, however, the condition of the book does not suggest that. This is not the first time I've bought a textbook off amazon, only to find that the condition was not good; like many customers I like to feel and see that a product is prestine and untouched. However, if you are not fussed about the condition, then buy-buy-BUY!
Useful if you can understand itThis was a recommended text for my cognitive psychology course, and it was most definitely a great boon to the work that I had to do in that course, as it contained a lot of information in easy to follow chapters. However, the book fell into the psychology cliché of being bland and monotonous, and not always easy to understand.
This book makes an excellent reference guide for specific theories on cognitive areas of psychology, and is best taken one section at a time, and in light of this wil be a very useful tool for any cognitive psychology module, be it on memory, perception or other areas.
crapeven thought this was a recommended text book, it was horrible to read.
Its not at all student friendly!
very bland and monotonious (spelling?)
i recommend buying a different cognitive book, which one? I have no idea but do not buy this one.
having said that i did pass my cognitive exam.
but i bet a different book would have made my life much easier!!!
