5.0 out of 5 starsAccessible Cognitive Science Primer
By CA_MicroFarm on June 9, 2009
Format: Paperback
Unlike the other review I just read -
This TEXTBOOK is clear, concise, and logically organized.

The book provides relevant, in-line definitions for all terms and concepts used. The book teaches you the concepts, principles, and methods of cognitive science, gently in an interesting way as you read the text. The author's writes in everyday language and creates his examples and situations in the "everyday" world to illustrate specific concepts and/or methods.

This is the best, most comprehesive, easy-to-understand, introductory overview of cognitive science I have ever read. All of this is packed into a slim, 5" by 8" volume consisting of 230 pages of text & exercises by a knowledgable author with great writing skills.

A great text from beginner to practioner.

You don't need a masters degree in some specific subject to understand what the author is presenting. This book applies the standards and elements of critical thinking unself-consciously and transparently. Every student should be required to read this text because it teaches critical thinking skills in both content AND message. Delightful!!

I have not (yet) read any of Paul Thagard's other textbooks but you can be SURE that I will.

4.0 out of 5 starsUseful book for Cognitive Sciences' students
By tpinheiro on August 7, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Very good book regarding the Computational Representational Understanding of Mind (CRUM). Althought only focusing on one theory to explain the fucntioning of our mind it has concise and easy to understand explanations, going from the most basic representations to the most complex.

2.0 out of 5 starsNot so great
By Jeremy on November 23, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Thagard's book is little more than an extremely superficial skim of and introduction to cognitive science. I know that the book is supposed to be a simple introduction, but in many ways it is far to simplistic and glossed over. There are many times at which he introduces new terms and concepts without defining them. He also jumps around quite a bit. His examples are very short and do not provide much insight beyond the obvious. Unless you need the book for class, I would avoid it. If you are just looking for an informative introduction to cognitive science, this is not the book for you.

2.0 out of 5 starsWas Not a Fan, Had to Buy for Class
By Brittany on May 13, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I thought the book sounded intriguing and was actually interested in the topic but found the book quite boring. I was not a fan of the organization of the book and found it kind-of confusing. I had to read the book for a college class, but would have tried to return it had I bought it for myself outside of class.
