It is hard to think of any significant aspect of our lives that is
not influenced by what we have learned in the past. Of fundamental
importance is our ability to learn the ways in which events are
related to one another, called associative learning. This book
provides a fresh look at learning theory and reviews extensively
the field of human associative learning and the advances made over
the past twenty years. The Psychology of Associative Learning
begins by establishing that the human associative learning system
is rational in the sense that it accurately represents event
relationships. David Shanks goes on to consider the informational
basis of learning, in terms of the memorisation of instances, and
discusses at length the application of connectionist models to
human learning. The book concludes with an evaluation of the rule
of induction in associative learning. This will be essential
reading for graduate students and final year undergraduates of
psychology.
