Cognitive Psychology

by John B. Best

Cognitive Psychology provides balanced coverage of the core areas of the discipline, including perception, memory, language, pattern recognition, and thinking. Best skillfully relates cognitive psychology to students' experience and provides a solid foundation for later studies in psychology or in related fields. Experiments throughout the book are described in detail, enhancing students' comprehension of the concepts and helping students who have not had courses in experimental psychology or statistics to grasp the concepts. With additional demonstrations and a contemporary treatment of memory, Best addresses complex issues in cognitive neuroscience clearly and completely.

If not for too much statistics and little more understandable with examples and stories instead of theoritical explanations of twisted terms, this could've actually been interesting.
