ReviewsThe text is very strong with respect to presenting competing theories of learning phenomena. It is one of the best I've read in this regard., The text provides a thorough overview of classical research and pivotal studies that lay the foundation of several important theories. Brief vignettes at the beginning of each chapter are helpful in setting the stage for the chapter's discussion in a relevant and approachable way, while also presenting a forum to reference back to throughout the chapter as information is expanded upon., This text allows students to continually build up a foundation/knowledge base to help reinforce and increase their own self-paced understanding of the material., "The text is very strong with respect to presenting competing theories of learning phenomena.
