Reviews
Nancy Kim's comprehensive and engaging text is the perfect introduction to the exciting breadth of this increasingly recognised field in psychology. By describing its fundamental concepts and theories with clarity, it highlights many rich and insightful connections to applied problems. Judgement and Decision Making is sure to become a standard text for anyone wishing to learn about this major field of behavioural science. * Prof David Shanks, Head, Division of Psychology and Language Sciences, University College London *
Nancy Kim is an extremely competent author with distinct content knowledge about judgment and decision-making. She has written a learned, comprehensive textbook with a unique approach: with links to developmental research. Nancy Kim covers the classic themes and includes some more surprising topics, such as Paranormal phenomena, which seems especially relevant in this era where scientific findings are sometimes openly doubted. I highly recommend this book. * Prof. Dr. Cilia Witteman, Diagnostic Decision Making, Radboud Universiteit *
