In this tenth edition, the authors present further experimental evidence that tests many of the fundamental ideas presented in these classic theories, as well as explore many of the advances in psychological science and neuroscience that have yielded greater insight into the processes that underlie learning in human beings and animals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe four main goals of this text are to define learning and to show how the learning process is studied (Chapters 1 and 2), to place learning theory in historical perspective (Chapter 3), and to present essential features of the major theories of learning with implications for educational practices (Chapters 4 through 16).

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.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e - Eric P Wiertelak, Macalester College, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART I Introduction to Learning\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: What Is Learning?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Approaches to the Study of Learning \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Early Notions about Learning \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Edward Lee Thorndike \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART II Predominantly Functionalistic Theories\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Burrhus Frederic Skinner \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Clark Leonard Hull \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART III Predominantly Associationistic Theories\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Ivan Petrovich Pavlov \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Edwin Ray Guthrie \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: William Kaye Estes \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART IV Predominantly Cognitive Theories\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Gestalt Theory \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Jean Piaget \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Edward Chace Tolman \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 13: Albert Bandura \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART V A Predominantly Neurophysiological Theory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Donald Olding Hebb \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 15: Robert C.
