Recensioner i media

The book is an excellent reference point and contains some really useful information, particularly the chapter on the use of intellectual ability tests which is also relevant to cognitive psychology. The book is very well presented and makes good use of diagrams and pictures to break up the text and provide examples. I also particularly like the structure of each chapter and the use of learning outcomes, critical thinking activities and assignments.
