The method to access handouts will be explained in the Thu 19 Nov lecture
Reading list and web resources (under construction)
Please notice that the reading list comprises entries for basic reading and entries for background and in-depth reading. Some of the latter entries go far beyond the contents of the lectures. - A number of the links below point to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ where you can find an abstract and a link to the full-text article access to which may be limited to computers with University of Nottingham IP addresses. One way to access such articles is to use a workstation in the Psychology computer classrooms.
