Robin S. Rosenberg
Allyn & Bacon
, 2004
Looks good
I'm seriously tempted to switch to this text when I next teach Intro Psych. I've followed Kosslyn's work over the years and he thinks as deeply and broadly about psychology as anybody I can think of. The book looks good to me. I'm wondering if intro psych students ...

Excellent Introduction to the Field of Psychology

Graph Design for the Eye and Mind
Stephen M. Kosslyn
Oxford University Press, USA
, 2006
Run away before it is too late
I admit that I'm a graph junkie, and that I've already spent years obsessing over the details my own graphs and those of others. I'm almost incapable of processing data unless I can create a meaningful picture of it. I'll actually scan journals and books looking for ...
The Case for Mental Imagery (Oxford Psychology Series)

Oxford University Press, USA
, 2006
When we try to remember whether we left a window open or closed, do we actually see the window in our mind? If we do, does this mental image play a role in how we think? For almost a century, scientists have debated whether mental images play a functional role in cognition. In The Case for Mental Imagery, Stephen Kosslyn, William Thompson, and ...

Mind Time: The Temporal Factor in Consciousness (Perspectives in Cognitive Neuroscience)
Benjamin Libet
Harvard University Press
, 2005
Excellent summary of great scientist's theories
I participated in two of Libet's experiments when I was a grad student, and knew his work well. I went on in neuroscience rather than perception, but I got well trained in both fields. So I thought I would make a few comments on that, especially in regard to the ...
Image and Mind
Stephen M. Kosslyn
Harvard University Press
, 1980
Are images an important means of recalling information from memory and solving problems? Or are images just display lights on the mind's computer? In Image and Mind , Stephen Kosslyn makes an impressive case for the view that images are critically involved in the life of the mind. In a series of ingenious experiments, he provides hard evidence ...

An essential classic
This is a phenomenal book on designing graphs so they can be understood. It is clearly written, well reasoned, and full of very practical advice and good examples. There is nothing else like it. If you need to create effective, accurate graphs, and read just one book, ...

The MIT Press
, 1998
The way we were ...
This book was published in 1998, but much of the current opinion it presents dates from the early 1990s. This was a seminal period, but it has taken us some time since to see what was really important at the time. For example, the remarkable paper whose title begins ...
Image and Brain: The Resolution of the Imagery Debate
Stephen M. Kosslyn
The MIT Press
, 1996
review of current thought in the field
Wanted to span the difference between pharmacology, biochemistry and the nuts and bolts approach. Kosslyn puts these into black boxes and gives the reader the "effect of" these black boxes. Specifically was looking for ideas from the psychology point of view that ...
