I've used Daniel Reisberg's _Cognition_, published by Norton. It's
challenging and drives home the idea of neural nets. I found that
neural nets and PDP were novel ideas for our undergrads, and Reisberg's
integration of this material throughout the text really helped them
to grasp the concept. The test file and most graphics are on disk,
which makes my life easier, although the questions need tweaking and the
graphics are pretty dull. I'm hoping the next edition is a bit jazzier.
