Critics Review
From the reviews:
“Vanderwolf … critiques current approaches to the study of the neural basis of mind, particularly as they apply to psychological processes such as perception, attention, motivation, emotion, memory, and cognition. … Vanderwolf reminds those interested in the field of the brain, behaviour, and the mind that works best when it rests on objective data. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.” (C. R. Timmons, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (11), July, 2007)
