Cognitive Neuroscience

Reviews / Votes

'This is a wonderfully engaging book with case studies to tease reader interest, a logical progression of neuroscientific topics to steadily build the reader's knowledge base, and effective questions and summaries to facilitate learning of the complex, yet accessible, material. I highly recommend this book!' BJ Casey, Barnard College, Columbia University 'Banich and Compton captivate their audience with interesting case studies, compelling examples, and beautiful figures. Instructor and student resources also promote retention using empirically based learning principles. A 'must-read' for those eager to learn more about mind and brain!' Jessica Andrews-Hanna, University of Arizona 'The revised and updated version of this textbook nicely presents a comprehensive treatment of key topics in cognitive neuroscience in an easy-to-read and thought-provoking approach. It should be a useful resource to university students interested in learning about the brain and human cognition.' Marcelo Salvador Caetano, Federal University of ABC 'Banich and Compton explore topics that reflect the scope of the field as well as areas of interest to students. They examine both function and dysfunction, along with practical applications, providing a fuller picture of the brain's role in human cognition, behavior, and emotion.' Chris Koch, George Fox University 'The book has great quality images, and figure descriptions. The use of different kinds of technique results such as fMRI images is fantastic. The book explanations are great, and detailed ... If I were teaching Cognitive Psychology to graduate students, this would be a strong contender to be chosen.' Alexander Matthews, Metropolitan State University of Denver 'Excellent book. Very informative, well organised and attractively presented.' Michael Wilby, Anglia Ruskin University
