"The chapters provide an excellent coverage of the different areas within cognitive psychology: not only are the traditional areas dealt with (memory, perception, language) but also areas which are often overlooked by comparable textbooks (human judgement, decision-making). This text is an excellent source for students of cognitive psychology who are looking for an introduction to the field and a broad summary of research issues that exist within it. Eysenck has a reputation for accessible writing and this text does not disappoint. The chapters are well structured and clear, I enjoyed the writing style which was informative and readable; jargon was clearly explained." - John Parkinson, Lecturer in Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, University of Wales Bangor, UK
"Cognition - the study of the basic mental processes which underlie behaviour - has developed a powerful and elegant set of methods and models since its beginnings forty or so years ago. Eysenck's exceptionally readable book covers the core topics of perception, memory, language, reasoning, and so on, organised around everyday questions such as 'how do we perceive depth?', 'why do we forget?', and 'how do cognition and emotion interact?' This stimulating and comprehensive text will engage anyone interested in learning how the mind works." - David R. Shanks, University College London, UK
"Eysenck's state-of-the-art account of findings and theories in cognitive psychology does an excellent job of conveying the excitement of research, and of relating the ideas to everyday experience. Written in an engaging personal style, the book provides a clear and accessible introduction to current work in the area, with balanced examples drawn from experiments, clinical cases, computer simulations and cutting-edge brain imaging research." - Fergus Craik, Senior Scientist, Rotman Research Institute, Toronto, Canada
Cognitive psychology is a large and expanding area within psychology as a whole. However, there are certain topics, such as perception, memory, language and reasoning, which are generally regarded as being of fundamental importance. It is this central core of cognitive psychology which is the focus of this book. If you have ever wondered how we perceive the world, or use language, or remember information, then this book provides intriguing insights into how we perform these, and other, complicated activities. This book provides an up-to-date approach to cognitive psychology, but with a particular emphasis on accessibility and clarity of style. As a consequence, the book can be read easily by anyone interested in cognitive psychology even if they do not possess any previous knowledge of the subject.
