I am a student taking an introductory course in Psychology. I bought this textbook at the start of the year because it was my lecturer's recommended text. As an introduction to the subject, the book is excellent. This new version of Cognitive Psychology brings up to date what was already a very useful book. This is a good reference book for any undergraduate psychology student, describing the cognitive psychologists approach.
Many people think psychology is difficult or quite unrelated to their everyday lives.
This book attempts to refute these two claims, providing an introduction to the history and present-day scope of the subject.
