Synopsis
Excerpt from The Psychology of Learning: An Advance Text in Educational Psychology
In this book I have tried to state every thing that is known about learning. All the experimental work that throws any light on the nature of learning has been carefully examined, and in the light of the experimental results I have endeavored to give the present impartial verdict of educational psychology. Throughout, I have tried to keep within the facts. When the evidence does not warrant a definite conclusion, I say so. The few cases of theory and speculation are plainly labeled as such. The practical significance to the teacher of the facts discussed is pointed out.

The Psychology of Learning: An Advance Text in Educational Psychology
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to the psychology of learning penned by the author throughout their extensive research in the field. At its heart is the notion that all learning revolves around establishing connections between stimulus and response and between ideas. The text begins by investigating the formation of habits, explaining how the brain creates preferential routes for repeated behaviors and associations. The author further goes onto demonstrate how these habits help us perform motor skills more efficiently and swiftly, thus freeing up brainpower for other higher-level functions. As the book progresses, the author underscores the essential role of knowledge in providing our experiences with meaning, empowering us to understand and act within our environment. Drawing on in-depth experiments with nonsense syllables, the book explores the optimal length and distribution of practice periods. Studies reveal that spreading practice out over time is more beneficial for learning than concentrating it into longer sessions. In closing, the book stresses the critical importance of a plastic brain - one that can adapt and change through learning - as a key driver of our cognitive development and success. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331075615_0
