Review :
'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.' - Daniel L. Schacter, William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, USA 'Jamie Ward's The Student's Guide to Cognitive Neuroscience is an outstanding addition to the field. Its coverage of topics is hugely impressive - from basic methods in cognitive neuroscience through to details chapters covering topics such as emotion as well as standard cognitive topics such as language and memory. This reflects the exciting converging of research over the past few years. The book also engages in state-of-the-art methods and integrates them in a way that will help students understand the relations between different aspects of the discipline. A tremendous achievement.' - Glyn Humphreys, Watts Professor of Experimental Psychology and Head of Department, University of Oxford, UK
