Foundations of Physiological Psychology (with Neuroscience Animations and Student Study Guide CD-ROM) (6th Edition)

This book is clear and does an excellent job of teaching a beginner the basics of neuropsych. Carlson understands this material can at times be dry and difficult and is able to write anecdotally and scientifically.

As a student with no background in Biology, this book helped me tremendously with my Physiological Psychology course.

Receibed in veIry good conditions. Just as it was programed. It was receibed well packed and just in the programed time

I bought a used older edition with copyright dates 2002, 1999, 1995, 1992, 1982, to look for examples of damage done by doctors who perform procedures like a coronary artery bypass that result in the onset of Balint's syndrome. I quote:She could still see, but she could notcontrol her eye movements. . . .she saw only fleeting, fragmentaryimages. . . . she could no longergrasp objects in front of her.I have been writing for a society in which some people live in a nursing home, where others could care for her.

I borrowed the 4th ed. of this book from a friend of mine to write up a lecture on synaptic transmissions. It was the clearest, most well-written physio psych book I think I've ever seen. Usually when psychologist try to write about biology they end up doing things like describing neurons as "a fluid-filled balloon" (no joke. Actually saw that in my intro textbook), but Carlson is clear yet intelligent. I would definitely recommend this book and hope to use it in my classes in the future.

I purchased this book for my biopsychology class. It is very informative, contains many helpful diagrams, and is fairly easy to understand for someone without much background in the topics. I recommend this. Also, you do not need to buy the newer edition because this version is almost exactly the same.

This book is really easy to, but that does not mean that it does not provide you with good information. In fact, I think the book is informative while being quite concise. The diagrams are nice too.

good book
