"This edition of Eysenck and Keane has further enhanced the status of Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook, as a high benchmark that other textbooks on this topic fail to achieve. It is informative, and innovative, without losing any of its hallmark coverage and readability."
Professor Robert Logie, School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom
"The best student's handbook on cognitive psychology - an indispensable volume brought up-to-date in this latest edition. It explains everything from low-level vision to high-level consciousness, and it can serve as an introductory text."
Professor Philip Johnson-Laird, Stuart Professor of Psychology, Emeritus, Princeton University, United States
"I first read Eysenck and Keane's Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook in itsthird edition, during my own undergraduate studies. Over the course of its successive editions since then, the content - like the field of cognition itself - has evolved and grown to encompass current trends, novel approaches and supporting learning resources. It remains, in my opinion, the gold standard for cognitive psychology textbooks."
Dr. Richard Roche, Senior Lecturer, Department of Psychology, Maynooth University, Ireland
"Eysenck and Keane have once again done an excellent job, not only in terms of keeping the textbook up-to-date with the latest studies, issues, and debates; but also by making the content even more accessible and clear without compromising accuracy or underestimating the reader's intelligence. After all these years, this book remains an essential tool for students of cognitive psychology, covering the topic in the appropriate breadth and depth."
Dr. Gerasimos Markopoulos, Senior Lecturer, School of Science, Bath Spa University, United Kingdom?
"Eysenck and Keane's popular textbook offers comprehensive coverage of what psychology students need to know about human cognition.

Dr. Motonori Yamaguchi, Senior Lecturer, Department of Psychology, University of Essex, United Kingdom

Associate Professor Rhonda Shaw, Head of the School of Psychology, Charles Sturt University, Australia
