This book fulfils the need for a clear overview of this area of cognitive psychology which encompasses both language and thought. Focusing on goal directed thinking and decision making, Nick Lund looks at the relationship between our grasp of language and our problem solving abilities. Different positions on the issues are contextualised and discussed in a way suitable for the AQA-A A-Level syllabus. Supplementary detail means that the book will also be valuable to other A-Level specification candidates and undergraduates coming to this area for the first time.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This clearly written text will help to explain and clarify a complex area of cognitive research that A Level students often find difficult. Its depth of understanding and a wide set of research examples means that the book will also appeal to first year undergraduates." - Jane Wilson, City College Norwich
