Cognitive Psychology A Student's Handbook Auteur: Michael W

Eysenck and Keane have reached a remarkable and almost unprecedented seventh edition of their highly successful book, more than 30 years after the first edition so impressed teachers, researchers and students alike. This new edition has attained even greater depth and breadth on leading edge as well as important established areas of cognitive psychology while retaining its hallmark highly readable style.' - Robert Logie, University of Edinburgh, UK No better guide to cognitive psychology for students, or other readers, exists. It is comprehensive, accurate, and insightful.' - Philip Johnson-Laird, Princeton University, USA More than any other authors, Eysenck and Keane have followed the field of cognitive psychology over the last 30 years, and have managed to convey with simplicity and clarity the essential knowledge that has been gained, and the exciting changes associated with this ever-evolving field.' - Jonathan Grainger, Aix Marseille University, France This is the only handbook I know of that can be used both for an introductory course and a follow-up course after a general introduction to psychology. Not only are the empirical findings well covered and made up-to-date, they are also naturally embedded within the existing theoretical frameworks. The latter is a unique strength of the book. It makes the handbook so much richer than yet another collection of interesting and sensational findings without theoretical integration. This is a book I have recommended to many starting colleagues asked to teach a course of cognitive psychology.' - Marc Brysbaert, Ghent University, Belgium Eysenck and Keane cover the wide range of topics necessary for a sophisticated cognitive psychology text
