Reviews / Votes
the depth with which some topics are covered is impressive. ... A great strength of this book would also have to be the instructor resources that accompany it; in particular, the impressive number of both multiple-choice and short-answer questions available for each chapter. ... The authors also did an excellent job ensuring that content was up to date, which was clearly highlighted when reference was made to the Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory of cognitive abilities. * Kate Jacobs, Journal of the Australian Educational and Developmental Psychologist *More details
