Mark Ashcraft has written a very accessible and friendly introduction to cognitive psychology in this textbook. This slim volume covers a variety of topics, focusing on memory (as many similar books do) but also including pattern recognition, attention, reasoning, language, and the brain. He writes in an understandable and inviting style, without sacrificing academic detail. Highly recommended.

1993 Cognitive Science editions are adequate for entry-level (introductory) Cognition classed. Fortunately Professor Liston of San Jose State University recognizes this situation and accommodates learning needs and students financial capabilities. Introductory Cognition courses do not need cutting-edge/current, breakthrough textbooks. Most introductory students cannot grasp the intellectual rigor required for comprehending advanced Cognitive Science concepts, rules, standards, and philosophies.

The book is in surprisingly good condition for being 18 years aged. Must have been through few 'good' owners, a few 'good' owners, or one 'excellent' owner.

I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The book is in great condition:) It took a while to get to me (do to the bad weather)but a rep from Sandman was very kind & kept in touch with me about the status of my book, but I'm glad it all worked out for the best. Thanx alot and I would definitely buy from this seller again:)
