Nathalie & others-- I have used Reisburg (or is it Reisberg?) and really liked it. I was ready for a change, and chose the Robinson-Riegler. It's brand new, so my guess is nobody's used it yet. I teach cog starting next week, so so far all I've done is read it. I like the writing and their explanations of connectionism & concept formation are really good I thought. However, the text has some major errors (check out the figures in later chapters) or I had a bad mindset, but it's too late now for me to change (& I'm not so sure I would anyway since I like it). It's not like my experience with Allyn & Bacon to let so many errors get by. Oh, well...
As for where to put language, does anyone put it first as an intro to the course? I am thinking of doing that with the R-R text as they devote 2 chapters to language. What do you think? And, happy new year to y'all, too, Marte Fallshore ************************************************ Marte Fallshore Department of Psychology Room 462 Central Washington University Ellensburg, WA 98926-7575 509/963-3670 509/963-2307 (fax) I teach for free; they pay me to grade.

I'll look at Willingham. I've got a review copy of a new book by Robinson-Riegler and Robinson-Riegler on my desk and it looks promising. Do any of you have any experience with it?
