Synopsis

Lieberman's (psychology, U. of Stirling, Scotland) introductory text on learning and memory teaches a deep understanding of fundamental ideas rather than a breadth of topics. Topics include Pavlov and classical conditioning; phobias and addictions; Thorndike's law of effect; the use of praise to transform the behavior of disruptive children; memory computer models; the Atkinson-Shiffrin model; sensory and working memory; and retrieval. Experimental exercises that can be performed using a computer simulated rat (available separately) in an operant chamber. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Review

"The organization of the material is outstanding...ideas flow naturally...the most readable learning text I have ever encountered... I haven't seen this coherent a presentation of learning issues and data since the days of Hilgard and Bower."
