Human learning is studied in a variety of ways. Motor learning is
often studied separately from verbal learning. Studies may delve
into anatomy vs function, may view behavioral outcomes or look
discretely at the molecular and cellular level of learning. All
have merit but they are dispersed across a wide literature and
rarely are the findings integrated and synthesized in a meaningful
way. Human Learning: Biology, Brain, and Neuroscience synthesizes
findings across these levels and types of learning and memory
investigation.
Divided into three sections, each section includes a discussion by
the editors integrating themes and ideas that emerge across the
chapters within each section. Section 1 discusses general topics in
human learning and cognition research, including inhibition, short
term and long term memory, verbal memory, memory disruption, and
scheduling and learning. Section 2 discusses cognitive neuroscience
aspects of human learning. Coverage here includes models, skill
acquisition, declarative and non declarative memory, age effects on
memory, and memory for emotional events. Section 3 focuses on human
motor learning.
This book is suitable for cognitive neuroscientists, cognitive
psychologists, kinesthesiologists, and graduate courses in
learning.
