Title: Learning
Description: This book surveys classical as well as contemporary experimental approaches to the study of learning. Specific learning tasks are considered in order of increasing complexity, and contemporary theoretical formulations are examined as examples of the highest level of learned activity--creative thinking. The primary emphasis is on ways in which psychologists discover and test principles involved in learning, when applied to academic study, performance of motor skills, and problem-solving. Examples are provided of the relevance of learning to related areas of psychology such as motivation, emotion, social interaction, and maladaptive behavior.
