Reviews for An Introduction to Cognitive Psychology: Processes and Disorders

Now in its fourth edition, this textbook provides a comprehensive and very accessible introduction to human cognition-from perception through attention, memory, thinking, language, and emotion. Uniquely, together with describing normal cognitive processes, it covers corresponding disorders of cognition. It is exceptionally clearly written and up to date, well suited to college and university introductory courses on cognition. Indeed, it is a great place to begin for anyone with an interest in how the mind works! - Colin M. MacLeod, PhD FRSC, Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Waterloo
