Hi Patrick:
I feel like a broken record tonight....I like the Reed text, he covers all areas of cognition equally well. The only shortcoming is the lack of a chapter on neuroscience. But since most of the texts are a bit heavy for undergrads I just make up my own lecture for that--along with one on history of psych and emergence of cognition and another one on methods specialized to cognition, etc--i.e., I think we all probably add something to suit ourselves no matter the text.
