This book is a required reading and reference for my cognitive psychology module.

Doing my notes, as I have been for the past few months, and I’ve finally reached my limit. Just so utterly and completely done with this book.
Chapter organisation is disappointingly...absent. Examples everywhere with no clear reference to the sub-topic/section of the chapter, and are described in the most not-succinct manner.

I guess there is some sequential flow to the ideas. But it seems more of a stream of consciousness rather than an organised text:(

Would probably enjoy this book more/be less harsh, if it wasn’t my university module reading and reference.

Although, the summaries at the end of the chapter, and the definitions at the side were quite useful.

Introductory cognitive psych book. Came recommended by an experimental professor for me to study the topics on the GRE. Decent read and pretty easy to understand. Still wasn't a fascinating read though.

This was the most boring book I've ever had to read, but I got an A in the Psych course.

Super good. School requirement for Introduction to Cognition. I think everyone who is concerned with how mental functioning and thinking work should pick it up.
