PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS EDITIONS
"Ronald T. Kellogg's Fundamentals of Cognitive Psychology is a very informative and user-friendly introductory textbook for students and general readers alike. This is a book that I would recommend to general readers and undergraduate students alike."
PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS EDITIONS
"Kellogg lucidly presents the basics of what historical and contemporary psychological science has taught us about the workings of the human mind. Students will enjoy learning from this book."
Not appropriate for the psychology course where I teach. A book very focused on neurosciences and our course is psychotherapy focused.
This book is very useful and informative for Psy. undergrad students. I will continue using this book for the next semester as well.
A very good book generally for undergraduates studying cognitive psychology. It covers the essentials of the course and gives a good introduction for students in general. This certainly is not over simplified however still makes reading easy.
