Cognitive Psychology Book

This is the book I needed for one of my psych classes and it is a very good textbook. The language is very easy to understand and there are many pictures and diagrams to help you understand the concepts.

If you like the subject, you'll like the book.

I am probably not a fair judge of this book since I loved the class that I used it for, and find the subject simply fascinating. But even for those who are less interested, I think Anderson does a good job of covering concepts with just the right amount of detail. The more difficult ideas are explained multiple times, which can be tedious if you understand them the first time, but very helpful if you don't. The only real complaint I have is the number of typos, especially in figures and graphs.

I bought it for a class, but at least I could follow it.

Nothing much to say except I had to buy this book for class and it was really easy to follow. It's not an intriguing novel or anything, but it gets the job done and the concepts are not hard to find or understand.
