Thinking Visually

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"The updated version of Thinking Visually is visually beautiful, as befits the topic. Readers will relish this understandable overview guide to an increasingly important field in psychology, education, design, communication and engineering." - Nora S. Newcombe, Professor of Psychology, Temple University

"Dr Stephen Reed provides a rare combination of an exceptionally knowledgeable cognitive psychologist and an equally exceptionally clear writer. Both characteristics shine through in the 2nd edition of Thinking Visually. This interesting book should be in the library of everyone concerned with the topic of visual thinking. I can strongly recommend it." - John Sweller, Emeritus Professor of Educational Psychology, University of New South Wales

If you are reading this, you probably care about how people think, communicate and learn. You might also believe that visual representation is one of the most important and perhaps underappreciated aspects of these phenomena. In that case, you are in for a treat. In this book (through words and images), Stephen Reed provides a wide-ranging, up to date and readable discussion of visual thinking. The topics range from cave paintings to augmented reality (and so much in between). The accounts of evidence and a wide range of theoretical perspectives are complemented by examples to bring the arguments to life. I strongly recommend you dive in. - Professor Shaaron Ainsworth, Director:Learning Sciences Research Institute, University of Nottingham "The updated version of Thinking Visually is visually beautiful, as befits the topic.
