There is no doubt that chapters on attention and memory are written exquisitely, but the introduction is poorly organized and last chapter on reasoning is hard to read. Unfortunately, explanations of simple ideas are needlessly overcomplicated. Would still recommend this book to someone who wants to expand their knowledge of memory and attention.

3 ⭐️ it’s a good textbook, but because of the other texts i had to read this semester and how amazing they presented things, this one felt to textbook-y and kind of boring - the contents weren’t though which is what gives the book a low rating.

This was the assigned text in my undergraduate cognitive psych course. I love the subject and this book. It's concise and details experiments that exemplify concepts wonderfully. I'm confident I will use this as a reference for the rest of my life. It's really, really good.

Interesting, but the way it's organized is extremely confusing.

language is very simple and lucid
