Reviews / Votes
the book is both a testament to the pervasive influence of Donald Broadbent's insights, and a rich treaure chest of ideas and techniques waiting to be plundered by the enterprising (if somewhat dedicated) neuropsychologist ... suffused by warm reference to Donald Broadbent's influence on the contributors ... Above all, the writers reflect on Donald's personal kindness and encouragement to them at various points in their careers. * Neuropsychologia, Vol. 32, No. 11, 1994 *More details
