This review is from: Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook (Hardcover)
My main interests are Social Psychology so I am somewhat biased. This book is extremely well regarded in the U.K. and indeed it is a very good reference for Cognitive Psychology. Where it falls down is in the writing style. There is unfortunately a view on this side of the pond that if you write in an engaging and reader friendly way that you are guilty of dumbing down. Consequently, U.K. textbook writers frequently have a humourless and inacessible writing style. When this applied to a subject which is difficult for many people to grasp then the results can be stupifying. This is coupled here with a very dense typeface and a lack of illustrations. I think when complex experiments involving colour stimuli would benefit from good quality colour images. Here we have a book which is extrmeley uninviting. A little investment in improved visuals would be benficial.
