This book introduces students of education to the elements of
educational psychology. It also relates as closely as possible the
findings of research to classroom practice. In order to make clear
the fundamental processes involved in psychological development,
the book starts with a study of the way in which the young child
adapts its behaviour to its environment. This study considers some
of the key aspects of physical development, mainly the central
nervous system. At the same time the way physical growth and
psychological development are influenced by the experience of the
individual is also discussed. This discussion of development is
followed by an examination of the processes of learning, with
particular attention paid to the works of Piaget.
The salient points of each chapter are brought together in a
summary which may be used by the reader to obtain a preliminary
overview of the content of the chapter, and as an aid to
revision.
