Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Anderson offers systematic and accessible presentation of the theoretical foundations of higher mental processes, with each important idea made concrete by specific examples and experiments. Focusing on knowledge representation as the central issue of cognition research, the book emphasizes an information processing approach to the field, but offers thorough coverage of the cognitive neuroscience approach as well (extensively updated for this edition).

The Sixth Edition also features a new two-color design and an expanded art program, with new figures highlighting areas of the brain most closely associated with specific cognitive functions. The result is a lucid, integrated view of the current state of a dynamic field, from one of its most accomplished practitioners.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very dry, like the desert, February 8, 2006

By	Daniel J. Cook (St Petersburg, FL USA) - See all my reviews

The main objective of the text is to advance an information processing approach to mind in conjunction with functional neuroscience. With that in mind, one shouldn't expect a historical treatment of the field in this text. Anderson is an excellent author, and he makes his points clear (if somewhat over-simplified). CP provides anyone interested in human learning and cognition, either from a strictly theoretical standpoint or a practical standpoint, an excellent resource for thinking about the nature and complexity of what we do when we think (in the broadest sense of the word). The chapter on problem solving is particularly interesting and will propel one to reconsider the significance of our descriptions of things that exist. See also "functional fixedness"

4.0 out of 5 stars If you like the subject, you'll like the book., June 17, 2009

By	Kristen Plumridge (Connecticut, US) - See all my reviews

I am probably not a fair judge of this book since I loved the class that I used it for, and find the subject simply fascinating. But even for those who are less interested, I think Anderson does a good job of covering concepts with just the right amount of detail. The more difficult ideas are explained multiple times, which can be tedious if you understand them the first time, but very helpful if you don't. The only real complaint I have is the number of typos, especially in figures and graphs.

4.0 out of 5 stars I bought it for a class, but at least I could follow it., July 23, 2008

By	Amanda N. Bounds "Noelle "The Self-Help Q... (Louisville, KY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Nothing much to say except I had to buy this book for class and it was really easy to follow. It's not an intriguing novel or anything, but it gets the job done and the concepts are not hard to find or understand.
