Good life knowledge

December 25, 2011

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Pros: amazing knowledge. Covers tons of learning theory and summarizes countless experiments in learning psychology over the last two hundred years. Plenty of applications to real-life situations that can improve us and our interactions with others.

Cons: Occasionally lacks scientific soundness. Some of the conclusions derived are from samples that are far too small (case studies, anecdotal evidence from multiple people, samples of only 4-5 people for example), and should not be a base for further conjecture. Others are poor comparisons, e.g. one study in 1974 of 10 students showed x, but a 1978 study of 12 students showed little or no x. The author therefore says "evidence is mixed". In reality, the author should be looking at a far greater accumulation of evidence and have a more sound understanding of statistics.

Overall: Excellent, excellent book. Just be on the lookout for maybe the 10% of the evidence that is not derived well enough.

Well written book with little to no BS

Well written book with little to no BS

This book is essentially a book detailing behaviorism and applications of it. I would suggest it for any one:

-Raising children
-Training animals
-Working in mental health
-Going to college for psychology
-And much more

Behaviorism is incredibly important as well as valid and this book explains it succinctly.

Did the dog eat your book?!?

August 5, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I rented this book and already I'm embarrassed to show up the first day with this in my hand...
Just because it's a rental doesn't mean I drop all my standards of quality. Entire corner eaten away!!!
Unacceptable for months of usage coming it's way!
