Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Cognitive Psychology, Fifth Edition, provides balanced coverage of the core areas of the discipline, including perception, memory, language, pattern recognition, and thinking. John Best skillfully provides a solid foundation for later studies in psychology or in related fields. Experiments throughout the book are described in detail, enhancing the readers comprehension of the concepts and helping those who have not had courses in experimental psychology or statistics to grasp the concepts. With additional demonstrations and a contemporary treatment of memory, Best addresses complex issues in cognitive neuroscience clearly and completely.
