“The biggest strength is the breadth of coverage in this text, ….I also really like that the author situates himself in the field by presenting his own research, and sharing insights from the development of the field.”--Patrick Carolan, Saint Mary’s University

“It think the major strengths of Anderson's text are his use of real world examples outside of the discipline to bring life to theoretical points and his use of graphs/figures to illustrate the empirical, data-driven knowledge base of the discipline.” --Russell Costa, Westminster College

“The book does an excellent job of covering traditional foundational behavioral cognitive psychology studies on each topic, and following this up with recent work in neuroscience.”--George Seror, Univ of Houston, Downtown


“Reviews from students each year have indicated that they greatly appreciated Anderson's straightforward writing style. ...The clear writing helps boil down (at times) complex topics into something very palatable to students. For those topics that may not be difficult inherently but perhaps include many different factors, the organization of how he describes information is very useful.”--Meagan Lentz, Rivier Univ
