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.'
