My recommendation is for Goldstein.  I found he does the best job of breadth, depth and readability.  Reed and Maitlin tend to be a bit thin and, I have to disagree with Karen, not as up to date.   Gary J. Klatsky, Ph. D. Director, Human Computer Interaction M.A. Program   Department

I have used Matlin in the past and feel that it is a good lower level Cognitive text. I currently use Galotti and am very happy with it but it is probably more of a Jr level undergrad text. It is a couple steps up from Matlin. A lot will depend on how ready your students are. Philip T. Dunwoody

Title: Re: Textbook recommendations requested You might also look at Goldstein's text "Cognitive Psychology, Connecting Mind, Research, an Everyday Experience". I find it to be a bit more accessible to 200 level students. -- Doug Wallen

A good lower undergrad cognitive book is Reed's. I have used almost all of the ones around at one time or another, or reviewed them, and unfortunately, I find that MOST of them really are written to do double duty for undergrad and grad. Annette Quoting "Pollak, Edward " <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I second Ed Pollak's recommendation of the Kalat text for a sophomore level Biopsych class. Although I also liked Pinel's text when I used it in the past, I think the modular structure of Kalat's text has gone to is much more appealing to students than the longer chapter format of Pinel. My syl
