4.0 out of 5 stars
A good book for Classes on Human Learning,
This review is from: Essentials Of Learning And Cognition (Hardcover)
I have adopted this text for a class on Human Learning and have found it to be an easily read and useful text. Morgan covers the essentials of "typical" learning modalities...classical, operant and social, and also moves on to address some cognitive issues, which is nice for us teachers who don't necessarily adopt Behaviorist philosophies. The book is written to be easily readable by most college students, though like all texts on learning there is an overemphasis on animal studies which get a bit dry and also are of questionable utility. The text could also benefit from a tad more skepticism regarding the utility of some behavioral technique, particularly given some of the controversies surrounding behavioral therapies for autism (i.e. Lovaas) and other disorders. Nonetheless this book makes for a very helpful text.

Good Stuff,
By Elizabeth Taylor "Meg" (Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essentials of Learning and Cognition (Paperback)
The book is an excellent text for school. It's small and compact, which is a nice change. However, it does feel a bit outdated. (Especially the pictures!)
