'Jamie Ward's The Student's Guide to Cognitive Neuroscience
is a fantastic textbook! It is engaging and accessible to
students while perfectly balancing comprehensive and rigorous
coverage of important topics from cognitive psychology,
neuroscience, and cognitive neuropsychology. I highly recommend
this book.'Jocelyn R. Folk, Associate Professor of
Psychology, Kent State University, USA'This book provides a very
accessible introduction to cognitive neurosciences. Jamie Ward has
a very clear and engaging way of explaining difficult concepts. I
really enjoy reading this book and I am sure that many psychology
students will do as well.'Nayeli Gonzalez-Gomez,
Lecturer in Psychology, Oxford Brookes University, UKPraise for
the previous edition:'The Student's Guide to Cognitive
Neuroscience is a perfect introduction to the field. I use it
in my own teaching and recommend it to colleagues from other
disciplines who are curious about cognitive neuroscience. Ward is
discerning about where to go into detail and where to present a
skillfully summarized gist, and always connects facts and findings
to the larger picture of what we know and how we know it. The
result is a smart, approachable introduction to the concepts and
methods of cognitive neuroscience.'Martha J.
Farah, Director of the Center for Neuroscience and
Society, University of Pennsylvania, USA'In The Student's Guide
to Cognitive Neuroscience, Jamie Ward provides a clear,
informative, and engaging introduction to this important subject.
The third edition builds on the strengths of the previous editions,
which include an impressive integration of insights from cognitive
psychology, neuropsychology, and neuroimaging. The text provides a
solid grounding in all of the key topic areas of cognitive
neuroscience that includes both classic studies and cutting edge
research. I highly recommend this excellent text.'
