Customer Reviews

Wow! A concise read and an understandable textbook.

Goldstein does a great job sharing examples, case studies, and using illustrations. This book has pictures on almost every page to help clarify studies and concepts. The writing is clear and easily understood. There are chapter summaries and questions to consider. I have been very impressed.

Good Book

To be completely honest the only reason I bought this book was because it was required for one of my classes. Overall though the book is a fairly easy read with lots of demonstrations throughout. In the center of the book there are also several color "plates" as they call them, that are refered to during the reading. This book also comes with a Coglab manual. If you are not taking a class that requires the manual, then I would look for just the text book. To use the online part you need a special code from a school to access it. The Coglabs are fun though and a vaild learning experience that teach you a lot about yourself. This book is a far easier read than a lot of textbooks I have had to read. If you are interested in the subject of Congnitive Psychology then I would recommend this book as an introduction.
