From the Foreword: "Is it possible at present to identify a core
cluster of theoretical ideas, concepts, and methods with which
everyone working in the area of learning and cognition needs to be
familiar? Would it be possible to make explicit the relationships
that we feel do or must exist among the various subspecialties,
ranging from conditioning through perceptual learning and memory to
psycholinguistics, and to present these in a sufficiently organized
way to help specialists and non-specialists alike in relating
particular lines of research to the broader spectrum of activity?
These questions were posed to a substantial number of investigators
who are currently most active in developing the ideas and doing the
research. Their response constitutes this Handbook..." First
published in 1975, Volume 1 of this Handbook attempts to present an
overview of the field and to introduce the principal theoretical
and methodological issues that will persistently recur in the
expanded treatments of specific research areas that comprise the
later volumes. Deferring to the current Zeitgeist rather than to
chronology, they begin with the present state of cognitive
psychology, then introduce the comparative approach, and conclude
this volume with a rapid, three-chapter review of the evolution of
ideas from conditioning to information processing.
