In 1963 an initial attempt was made in my The Psychology of
Meaningful Verbal Learning to present a cognitive theory of
meaningful as opposed to rote verbal learning. It was based on the
proposition that the acquisition and retention of knowl edge
(particularly of verbal knowledge as, for example, in school, or
subject-matter learning) is the product of an active, integrative,
interactional process between instructional material (subject
matter) and relevant ideas in the leamer's cognitive structure to
which the new ideas are relatable in particular ways. This book is
a full-scale revision of my 1963 monograph, The Psychology of
Meaningful Verbal Learning, in the sense that it addresses the
major aforementioned and hitherto unmet goals by providing for an
expansion, clarification, differentiation, and sharper focusing of
the principal psychological variables and processes involved in
meaningful learning and retention, i.e., for their
interrelationships and interactions leading to the generation of
new meanings in the individual learner. The preparation of this new
monograph was largely necessitated by the virtual collapse of the
neobe havioristic theoretical orientation to learning during the
previous forty years; and by the meteoric rise in the seventies and
beyond of constructivist approaches to learning theory."
