Learning and Memory From Brain to Behavior

The authors do an excellent job presenting the emerging trends.nbsp; The real-life examples will be helpful for students.nbsp; I would certainly refer to many of these in my lectures. John Byrnes, Ph.D., Tufts University of Medicine, UMASS Boston nbsp; The greatest strength of this text is the constant use of relatable real world examples.nbsp; Many other texts talk mainly about rats and do not relate topics to everyday life. Another strength is the blending of basic learning with brain substrates and clinical applications.nbsp; Few texts do this.nbsp; Professor Todd Allen, University of Northern Colorado nbsp; Finally, someone writes a chapter on memory that isn’t boring!nbsp; Finally, someone writes a chapter on a cognitive topic that does not confuse or hide the importance of memory behind a plethora of boring human studies! Hurray and bravo! Lorna Joachim, University of New Mexico nbsp; Students Say I really understood each topic.nbsp; I like how the author discusses the concept with detailed descriptions about real life events.nbsp; It helps me understand how this research related to the world around us and how it affects our everyday lives. Kimberly Skotarczak, SUNY Buffalo nbsp; The discussions were very interesting because they were told in ways that were easily relatable.nbsp; This book did not have the boring, dry material that you find in most textbooks.nbsp; Jessie Newman, University of Northern Colorado nbsp; I really thought the text was exciting and interesting, the use of pop culture brought the science to a new level, and the information became more interesting because we could see how it could be applied.nbsp; Kimberly Seeherman, Princeton University
