Learning by Stephen Klein
Learning: Principles and Applications provides students a current, comprehensive, and engaging introduction to the psychology of learning. Praised for its easy-to-read style and presentation of important contributions of both human and nonhuman animal research, the text helps readers understand the process of learning with coverage of classic experiments, contemporary research, real-world examples, applications, chapter-opening vignettes, and critical thinking questions. The Eighth Edition features expanded sections on theories of conditioning, a streamlined organization through two separate chapters on memory storage and retrieval, and enhanced pedagogy to better connect the material to the everyday lives of students."The text is very strong with respect to presenting competing theories of learning phenomenaIt is one of the best I’ve read in this regard."
-- Thomas J. Faulkenberry
"This text allows students to continually build up a foundation/knowledge base to help reinforce and increase their own self-paced understanding of the material."
-- Lorenz S. Neuwirth"The text provides a thorough overview of classical research and pivotal studies that lay the foundation of several important theories. Brief vignettes at the beginning of each chapter are helpful in setting the stage for the chapter’s discussion in a relevant and approachable way, while also presenting a forum to reference back to throughout the chapter as information is expanded upon." -- Christine Caldwell
