Since its first edition, An Introduction to Theories of Learning
has provided a uniquely sweeping review of the major learning
theories from the 20th century that profoundly influenced the field
of psychology. In this tenth edition, the authors present further
experimental evidence that tests many of the fundamental ideas
presented in these classic theories, as well as explore many of the
advances in psychological science and neuroscience that have
yielded greater insight into the processes that underlie learning
in human beings and animals. The four main goals of this text are
to define learning and to show how the learning process is studied
(Chapters 1 and 2), to place learning theory in historical
perspective (Chapter 3), and to present essential features of the
major theories of learning with implications for educational
practices (Chapters 4 through 16). The authors retained the best
features of earlier editions while making revisions that reflect
current research and scholarship, including coverage of active
learning and the testing effect, information for problem solving in
ravens, data illustrating the neurobiological basis of the
cognitive map and spatial learning, new research on brain
plasticity and its role in learning as well as the impact of
poverty on brain and cognitive development, and new evidence that
challenges the notion of learning styles. Complete with chapter
summaries, discussion questions, and a glossary, this text is
essential reading for theories of learning and applied cognitive
psychology courses. See "Support Material" below for new online
resources. Instructor resources include PowerPoint slides and a
testbank containing over 500 questions (in both Microsoft Word and
GIFT file formats). Student resources include chapter summaries,
discussion questions, and a glossary of key terms.
