Cognitive Psychology Reviews

This edition of Eysenck and Keane has further enhanced the status of Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook, as a high benchmark that other textbooks on this topic fail to achieve. It is informative, and innovative, without losing any of its hallmark coverage and readability.

Professor Robert Logie, School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom

The best student's handbook on cognitive psychology - an indispensable volume brought up-to-date in this latest edition. It explains everything from low-level vision to high-level consciousness, and it can serve as an introductory text.

Professor Philip Johnson-Laird, Stuart Professor of Psychology, Emeritus, Princeton University, United States

I first read Eysenck and Keane's Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook in its third edition, during my own undergraduate studies. Over the course of its successive editions since then, the content - like the field of cognition itself - has evolved and grown to encompass current trends, novel approaches and supporting learning resources. It remains, in my opinion, the gold standard for cognitive psychology textbooks.

Dr. Richard Roche, Senior Lecturer, Department of Psychology, Maynooth University, Ireland

Eysenck and Keane have once again done an excellent job, not only in terms of keeping the textbook up-to-date with the latest studies, issues, and debates; but also by making the content even more accessible and clear without compromising accuracy or underestimating the reader's intelligence. After all these years, this book remains an essential tool for students of cognitive psychology, covering the topic in the appropriate breadth and depth.

Dr. Gerasimos Markopoulos, Senior Lecturer, School of Science, Bath Spa University, United Kingdom

Eysenck and Keane's popular textbook offers comprehensive coverage of what psychology students need to know about human cognition. The textbook introduces the core topics of cognitive psychology that serve as the fundamental building blocks to our understanding of human behavior. The authors integrate contemporary developments in the field and provide an accessible entry to neighboring disciplines such as cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology.

Dr. Motonori Yamaguchi, Senior Lecturer, Department of Psychology, University of Essex, United Kingdom

The eighth edition of Cognitive Psychology by Eysenck and Keane provides possibly the most comprehensive coverage of cognition currently available. The text is clear and easy to read with clear links to theory across the chapters. A real highlight is the creative use of up-to-date real-world examples throughout the book.

Associate Professor Rhonda Shaw, Head of the School of Psychology, Charles Sturt University, Australia

Unmatched in breadth and scope, it is the authoritative textbook on cognitive psychology. It outlines the history and major developments within the field, while discussing state-of-the-art experimental research in depth. The integration of online resources keeps the material fresh and engaging.

Associate Professor Soren Rislov Staugaard, Department of Psychology and Behavioural Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark

Eysenck and Keane's Cognitive Psychology provides comprehensive topic coverage and up-to-date research. The writing style is concise and easy to follow, which makes the book suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students. The authors use real-life examples that are easily relatable to students, making the book very enjoyable to read.

Associate Professor Lin Agler, School of Psychology, University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast, United States
