Product Description Without sacrificing intellectual rigor, this clear and beautifully written text shows how learning principles revealed in animal research can be applied to human behavior. Rather than leaving students with only classical conditioning, reinforcement, and formation of associations, Lieberman also reveals the relationship of learning to cognitive processes, such as memory and thinking. His coverage of the Rescorla-Wagner model-cited as "an especially lucid overview" in the Journal of Comparative Psychology-enables students to understand the importance of neural network models in learning research (a topic either ignored or not made clear in other texts) and to perceive the links between associative learning and higher cognitive processes.
CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 3.0 based on 2 reviews)
Great textbook Great textbook choice for graduate level educational psychology courses. November 20, 2001
Horrid Text The text does not cover materials it should, and spends time on issues that do not relate to the area of learning.
The last two chapters are very unorganized and unclear to most students.
Never have I taught a class with so many student complaints about a text.
I strongly suggest that you look elsewhere for a learning text. October 09, 2001
