Emma ，

Riktigt uppfriskande med lättläst kursbok！ Kognitiv psykologi handlar till stor del om inlärning， minne etc。 och det märks att boken är utformad just för att främja detta utifrån författarens kunskaper inom ämnet。 Varje kapitel har sammanfattningar i början och slutet， samt stycken som drar tydliga kopplingar mellan studier o fenomen i de olika kapitlen。 Stegvis får läsaren pusselbitar som fint passar ihop o blir en ”komplett” kognitiv psykologi-pusselbild :）Åtminstone grundläggande hehe

Insightful and interesting context on cognitive developments inclusive。 Context correlates and reinforces other textbooks in the psychological field， thus validating， and reinforcing data。

i guess it is about what it says its about。 but cog psy is just a bunch of conflicting theories that are either incredibly boring or have little evidence to support them

Easy to read writing style。 Concise overview。 Good book to keep on the shelf

A more scientific look at the study of the brain and its functions。

It's obviously a textbook， and quite a lot of the statistical and specialty-specific information flew out of my head pretty quickly。 But oh！ it is full of fascinating stuff about how our brains work。 I understand that an underpinning of the mechanics of brain function are necessary before any discussion of cognition can take place， but it reminded me of a philosophy class on feminism I once took: we talked about a great many issues which touch women's lives， but we never really got to talk much It's obviously a textbook， and quite a lot of the statistical and specialty-specific information flew out of my head pretty quickly。 But oh！ it is full of fascinating stuff about how our brains work。 I understand that an underpinning of the mechanics of brain function are necessary before any discussion of cognition can take place， but it reminded me of a philosophy class on feminism I once took: we talked about a great many issues which touch women's lives， but we never really got to talk much about feminism， largely because we had no useful definition of it。 This was sort of like that。 But it was very easy to read and clearly written。 。。。more

Read this as my textbook for a cognition class。 Super interesting！Dense if it's not required reading。 Read this as my textbook for a cognition class。 Super interesting！Dense if it's not required reading。 。。。more

Super easy to read and easy to understand but really thin on real substantial information considering he fills up 500 with such windy explanations

I FINALLY FINISHED IT！ This was assigned to me fall 2006。 Time got the best of me but I did it。 So the book has strengths and weaknesses。 It is chalk-full of good information and studies。 Probably the most interesting part of the book is its narrative weaving together all of the research。 REALLY GOOD。 I didn't realize how much of my cognitive （and neuro） psych knowledge has been taken from this book。 This textbook， although dense， also lacks a lot of information from the field。 That's not the bo I FINALLY FINISHED IT！ This was assigned to me fall 2006。 Time got the best of me but I did it。 So the book has strengths and weaknesses。 It is chalk-full of good information and studies。 Probably the most interesting part of the book is its narrative weaving together all of the research。 REALLY GOOD。 I didn't realize how much of my cognitive （and neuro） psych knowledge has been taken from this book。 This textbook， although dense， also lacks a lot of information from the field。 That's not the book's fault， but rather the nature of the game for textbooks today。 To have a comprehensive textbook would require like 800 pages and this badboy is only about 500。 I'm not sure how it compares to other cog psych texts - it took me 8 years to read this book so maybe in like 30 years I can compare this book to others。 All in all， I'd feel comfortable assigning it in a class or recommending it to someone interested in the field。 。。。more

The book is organized well。 The objectives include many visual figures and diagrams for farther comprehension。 I would consider this to be solid foundation of Cognition to begin with。The book also presents many good questions about each objective with thourough and clear discussion。I would also try to get basic comprehension about the areas of the brain （amygdala， lobes， hippocampus etc。） before reading this book for greater comprehension， articulation and retention。 J Pinel （UBC） "Neuropsycholo The book is organized well。 The objectives include many visual figures and diagrams for farther comprehension。 I would consider this to be solid foundation of Cognition to begin with。The book also presents many good questions about each objective with thourough and clear discussion。I would also try to get basic comprehension about the areas of the brain （amygdala， lobes， hippocampus etc。） before reading this book for greater comprehension， articulation and retention。 J Pinel （UBC） "Neuropsychology" Is a very good book to look at the overall structure of the brain。 。。。more

Dan Reisberg is the kind of prof you can love， even if he doesn't like you。 His rhetorical style makes conference engaging and educational。Many times in my life after Reed， I have wanted to ask Dan Reisberg's opinion on all sorts of things。 I regret not arguing with him more when I had the chance。 This textbook is fascinating。 It reads like a story。 A clear tour through the landscape of your thinking: Memory， Intelligence， Language， Vision， and Reasoning。 Dan Reisberg is the kind of prof you can love， even if he doesn't like you。 His rhetorical style makes conference engaging and educational。Many times in my life after Reed， I have wanted to ask Dan Reisberg's opinion on all sorts of things。 I regret not arguing with him more when I had the chance。 This textbook is fascinating。 It reads like a story。 A clear tour through the landscape of your thinking: Memory， Intelligence， Language， Vision， and Reasoning。 。。。more

By far the best text-book I have ever read。 Cognition is used in Cognitive Psychology courses in hundreds of universities; I was lucky enough to be taught by the man who wrote it （Reisberg）， and I find myself returning to it to explore the complexity and beauty！ of the brain's functions。 Memory， attention， perception， language， problem solving and other topics are discussed in practical and theoretical terms， using issues from economics， political science， philosophy， etc。 in order to paint a fu By far the best text-book I have ever read。 Cognition is used in Cognitive Psychology courses in hundreds of universities; I was lucky enough to be taught by the man who wrote it （Reisberg）， and I find myself returning to it to explore the complexity and beauty！ of the brain's functions。 Memory， attention， perception， language， problem solving and other topics are discussed in practical and theoretical terms， using issues from economics， political science， philosophy， etc。 in order to paint a full picture。 The book is in-depth yet very concise， exploring the research and studies behind the topics， as well as the intricacies of the topics themselves。More importantly， it's captivating！ The questions discussed （how do we judge？ how do we reason？ how does memory work？） are enough to be interesting， but the writing style and Reisberg's expertise on the subject make it transfixing。 。。。more
