Human Learning

Human Learning, fifth edition, is the leading text in learning theories applied to education. It covers a broad range of learning theories, including conditioning, social cognitive, cognitive, developmental, and social constructivist. Coverage demonstrates, through the author' s lucid prose, how different concepts relate to one another, provides dozens of proven examples, and emphasizes meaningful learning that makes the fundamentals of these theories understandable to students with little or no prior coursework in psychology. This edition also contains significant coverage of motivation. Key revisions to this book include a thoroughly updated section on behaviorism, a new, separate chapter on developmental perspectives, and a reorganized motivation section.
