Controversies in Cognitive Neuroscience
"One of the most crucial skills for university students is to learn how to become critical consumers of scientific knowledge. This book provides the ideal structure and support to develop their own critical evaluation of cognitive neuroscience." - Professor Deborah Hall, Director, NIHR National Biomedical Research Unit in Hearing, Nottingham, UK "Capitalizing on the insight that much can be learned from scientific disagreements, Controversies in Cognitive Neuroscience clearly presents ideas and findings from the cutting edge of the field. Slotnick's provocative style might ruffle a few feathers, but his lively account will engage and inform both students and researchers in numerous areas of contemporary cognitive neuroscience." - Daniel L. Schacter, William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, USA, and author of The Seven Sins of Memory: How the Mind Forgets and Remembers "This book presents a series of debates on some of the current hot topics in Cognitive Neuroscience. It is an excellent way to spark the enthusiasm and curiousity of students. By encouraging students to think critically about the links between evidence and theory, Slotnick has done a great service to the field." - Dr Jamie Ward, Associate Professor, University of Sussex, UK
