Reviews"The main strength of this [book] is that it honestly has the most thorough and accurate presentation of the conceptual material. The chapters are simply packed full of detail. It is a wonderful compilation of our current understanding of human learning processes, made accessible by clear and concise language." --Alexander Pagnani, University of Central Missouri "Clear, concise, detailed when needed and applicable, a good overall text to introduce human learning... there are few, if any, textbooks that bridge the gap between undergraduate and graduate level material as well as this one." --Stephen Whitney, University of Missouri "Very comprehensive in learning and motivation theories; Intriguing, fun to read; [and] Lots of great discussions and applications for teachers... The book is the best for graduate students who take a learning theories or learning and development course, especially for students who are going to be teachers... I highly recommend the book to professors who are looking for an advanced educational psychology book..." --Xiaopeng Gong, Western Oregon University
