"Cognition" takes an eclectic approach to the subject of cognitive psychology. It provides a rich historical context for current work, covering the breadth of the field in engaging, straightforward and easy-to-read style. Even the difficult topics are presented in an elegant and understandable fashion. By navigating theoretical controversies without bias, it provides exceptional depth of analysis and a sense of the dynamism of the field. Discussions of neuroscience and ecological considerations of each topic add richness. Full chapters on personal cognition and applied cognitive psychology provide information on prominent research areas that are of special interest to students, such as autobiographical memory and successful learning strategies.
