Cognition & Discovery Labs - Tapa dura

"A very high-quality book. The authors are not afraid to challenge students with some complex issues, such as the relationship between mind and brain, the ecological approach, and Gibsonian theory."--Penny M. Pexman, University of Calgary "The material is ideal for my undergraduate courses: both challenging and accessible for the newcomer. The writing style is clear and immensely readable. I have to admit that I enjoyed reading it; I think my students will too."--Robert Cassidy, Concordia University
