Media Reviews
`An excellent example of an up-to-date text, and well worth exploring... detailed and thorough' - Physiotherapy

`The author has done an outstanding job of presenting in a coherent way what has become a very diverse and sometimes theoretically dense field of psychology... there's an excellent balance between anecdote, empirical research and theoretical stories' - Ira Fischler, University of Florida, Gainsville

`The text is very well-written, current, comprehensive and does an excellent job of exploring concepts in the context of experimental tasks used to study them without becoming so detailed that students are distracted from the main point and tempted to memorize facts . In sum, the material is extremely well presented at a conceptual level appropriate to the student interested in what scientific studies of cognitive processes have revealed about topics relevant to everyday life' - James I Chumbley, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
