Principles of Learning and Memory

by Robert G. Crowder

Overview

First published in 1976. This volume presents an organised review of the concepts that guide current study of learning and memory. The organisation is theoretical rather than historical or methodological, and as the ideas that experimental psychologists take seriously are usually anchored in some form or empirical accountability, it also includes data as well as theory.
