Product Description
Product Description
Cognitive processes enable us to experience the world around us: to recognise familiar faces, to communicate to one another through speech and writing, to feel emotion as we recall memories from the past. Cognitive Psychology provides a dynamic and exciting insight into this illuminating subject, leading us through such topics as attention, memory, judgement and decision making, and introducing us to the latest computational and imaging techniques through which our understanding of these topics is being continually enhanced. With state-of-the-art introductions from internationally recognised experts, Cognitive Psychology conveys a sense of excitement in the subject which will be sure to engage and enthuse any student. Online Resource Centre Includes figures from the book available to download to facilitate lecture preparation, and interactive experiments to enable students to explore material covered in the book in an interactive, problem-based fashion.

Format:Paperback
I have bought 4 books on Cognitive Psychology and this one is the best so far! It is easy to read. Whereas I find some other books use too much academical language and make me read every page 3X before I understand what is meant this one is very clear and understandable. Every sector in each chapter has its own summary which makes everything even easier to memorize. The only thing I wish was that there would be a clear evaluation after each sector. For this I still use Eysenck and Keane.

This book is a companion to the Open University Cognitive Psychology module. If you do the course, you get a copy with the course materials. I bought my own copy to start reading before the course started, and wish I'd saved my money.
As a textbook, it does not bear comparison with the definitive work by Eysenck and Keane; this volume is far too `wordy' and succeeds in making some topics utterly incomprehensible. For example, I learnt logic at senior school level 30 years ago, and I'm sure I could give a better account than the one presented here.
I gave up on this book and used only Eysenck (and Andrade and May's `instant notes'), and got a level 1 pass. If I had stuck with this text, I'm sure my result would have been poorer.
Finally, If you are a student with a `global' learning style, this one is definitely not for you - each topic is developed in an entirely piecemeal manner, with no real sense of flow. Very disappointing, especially given the cost.

This book is very interesting. It helped me a lot in learning about basic cognitive psychology and basic knowledge in psychology as a whole. i would recommend this alongside the handbook that comes as an addition.
