Cognitive Psychology: Connecting Mind, Research and Everyday Experience (MindTap Course List)

I am a student and this was the required book for my Cognition & Memory course. I personally found a lot of the details boring, but that was purely because of the subject matter. The book itself explains the concepts very well and the author makes a strong effort to "speak" to the reader. He "talks" about himself and his life where applicable and he will refer to the reader directly in the text. Once I started reading the later chapters, I actually enjoyed reading the textbook. I felt like I had somewhat of a connection with the author. Also, the "key terms" at the end of the chapters and the definitions in the back were really helpful. Additionally, when I actually started doing the "Test yourself" portion at the end of each section I saw my grades go up (from an A to an A+). In my opinion, E. Bruce Goldstein did a good job. And that's not just because I'm Jewish.

Perfect exactly as described and getting me through college for less!

A good comprehensive textbook on cognitive psychology. I got this as a textbook for a class, and it was a good read. Not something I would choose to read on my own time, however.

I loved this. I’m majoring in Mental Health Psychology. This book was part of my curriculum.

I waited an entire month for this book. Only to receive the third edition. I'm disappointed in my purchase. I have to take a test next week. Hopefully I do well. EDIT: Talked with the seller and was very professional. Nice lady who sells many books at Amazon. ISBN numbers got mixed up and a mistake was made. I overreacted when writing this comment, and I realized I should look through the perspective of other people and have a little empathy.

I have read several psychology books throughout my college career, and this one is by far the most well written textbook I have ever read. This author does a great job of explaining things, and giving examples that really let you relate concepts to every day life. He makes it easy to learn and not just read and forget.

Really did not like this book. I have my bachelors in psychology so I've used a lot of psychology books. The book jumped around a lot, over-explaining most subjects to the point of confusion and under-explaining others. The cog lab can be purchased seperately for $50 through their website and the quality is lacking for the extra $$. I took this class voluntarily as an elective and wished I hadn't. It's a shame because this course may be very interesting with another teaching material. I rented this through Amazon for a college course. You can't beat the rent price for a semester. Shipped fast and easy to return. Book came with lots of highlighted marks but didn't affect the reading the text.

Item as described. Full retail price at school was 180, got this for 75. Nice, and the digital copy was 34 at the time.

Book delivery on time, great quality of product and professional service. Thanks

The book comes with online registration to the Cengage Learning community, the registration code that came with the book I had purchased had already been used and I can't register to support learning using the online program. If the book was brand new - which is should have been, the registration should be new. While I don't have a problem with the product as such, it is disappointing not to be able to access this additional learning tool.

Kargolama ve teslimat çok çok iyi. Siparişim ertesi gün kargo edildi, ertesi gün elime sorunsuz geldi .. Zaten ürün malum ... Teşekkürler

Excellent text. Very clear and well laid out. Wish it had a free online quiz component.
