Recenzje

"An essential resource for all those who seek to understand more about the nature of learning, An Introduction to Theories of Learning provides the reader with a wealth of information about this vital characteristic of nervous systems: to change based on experience. Examining the contributions of such historic figures as Darwin, Thorndike, Piaget, Hebb and many others, no other text achieves what this text does: inform the student of behavior through the stories of those who have come before, and those working now in this field. Clearly written and well-structured with chapter outlines, summaries and thought questions, this is a natural text for adoption in psychology and education curricula." - Eric P Wiertelak, Macalester College, USA
