Cognitive Psychology: Classic Edition

First published in 1967, this seminal volume by Ulric Neisser was the first attempt at a comprehensive and accessible survey of Cognitive Psychology; as such, it provided the field with its first true textbook.

Its chapters are organized so that they began with stimulus information that came inward through the organs of sense, through its many transformations and reconstructions, and finally through to its eventual use in thought and memory.

The volume inspired numerous students enter the field of cognitive psychology and some of the todays leading and most respected cognitive psychologists cite Neissers book as the reason they embarked on their careers.
