Peter Hills, Michael Pake : Cognitive Psychology for Dummies before purchasing it in order to gage whether or
not it would be worth my time, and all praised Cognitive Psychology for Dummies:
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Autumn L. LucasIts a good book. Didn't cover things
that I got it for but still and interesting read.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A Solid 23-Chapter
Introduction to Cog PsychBy Thomas V. HagertyOne reviewer wrote, "Finally, as I alluded to earlier, this is not a
particularly engaging book in the sense of other Dummies books." By "engaging" the reviewer probably meant some
of the gratuitous humor that is in many of the Dummies books. This book by Hills and Pake has only a few light
touches in its pages. These established the perfect tone.I read through the book several times, marking up concepts that
I found useful in my own work. The chapters on problem solving, decision making, and the role of emotions are
especially good, with lots of research examples giving them clarity. Now I'm in the mood to get one of the more
expensive university textbooks to continue with this subject.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Decent
Supplement to your TextbookBy DannoThis installment of the Dummies series is intended as a companion text for
students who are taking a course in Cognitive Psychology. There's a strong market need for such a text, as Cog Psy is
an exceptionally non-intuitive discipline which also happens to be one of the cornerstones of contemporary research
psychology. If you can't master the basics, you're going to have to switch to a different social science major. It's really
that simple!The book covers all the basics quite well. Memory storage, learning, sensation and perception and the
other chestnuts of major Cog Psy textbooks are dealt with in due order and in sufficient detail for an undergraduate
course on the topic. As a welcome attraction, some contemporary research is also given attention within this book.
And given that many of the textbooks devoted to Cog Psy (even at the undergrad level) are not written in an engaging
manner, a relatively approachable booster text is truly welcome. (I use the word 'relatively' here because this book is
engaging only when compared to its competition. This is not a light read!) Undergrads will benefit from this book, and
should use it for reviewing major concepts should they study for the Psychology GRE if they are planning to attend
graduate school in the USA. It's also useful to someone who's been out of the classroom for a while and is returning to
finish their psychology major. It is not intended as a standalone, but if you've been exposed to Cog Psy in the past,
you'll be able to use this book.And now the caveats.This is one time where I truly wish I could give a book a split
rating. Like almost every psychology textbook intended for undergrads, the authors have a limited grasp of the history
of the discipline and frequently get it dead wrong. They confuse Wilhelm Wundt with this student Edward Titchener,
falsely claim that Watson founded Behaviorism (a Nobel Prize winner named Pavlov did that, and there are many
philosophical sources to the movement), etc. I didn't deduct for this problem because these sorts of errors still appear
often in undergraduate textbooks, but it irritates me to no end since the scholarship within the History of Psychology
has been railing against these types of academic folklore for years. These are also the types of problems that will haunt
you when writing a grad school thesis. Secondly - and this is not a criticism but a caveat - the authors do slip in
multiple Britishisms that a non-Brit should keep an eye out for. I'm surprised this got past the editorial staff if this is
intended as an international edition. Finally, as I alluded to earlier, this is not a particularly engaging book in the sense
of other Dummies books. I thought it would have a lighter touch with a greater emphasis on graphics, because
graphics help students engage with concepts that are challenging. The tone is appropriate for the subject matter, but
not necessarily this series.For the target audience, however, this is a four-star book because it will be a very useful
reference work as they attempt to master their first course in Cog Psy. They're the ones who are buying this and they
are the ones I have written this review for.
