2021-03-17 This was the main text of my intro to psychology class in college. I remember it as OK and fairly interesting. But the methodology of the professor was for the students to master (memorize) a chapter a week and take tests on each one and get rewarded for doing well on those, by not having to worry about the longer term memory of the material. If you "aced" all (or almost all) the weekly tests/quizzes, you hardly had to remember anything at all for the midterm or final exams, to still get a top grade. So, the class was lots of short term work, but the longer term memory and integration of the materials was lacking, due to the structure of the class.

Hardly any of that tells you about the book. Sorry. I just don't remember much, especially after 45 years or so.
