An Introduction to Theories of Learning 10^th Edition defines learning and shows how the learning process is studied, places learning theory in a historical perspective, and presents essential features of the major theories of learning for educational practices.

Covering an overview of the science of learning as well as deep explorations of functionalistic, associationistic, cognitive, neuropsychological, and evolutionary approaches to learning theory, this fully updated new edition places learning in its historical perspective and provides appreciation for the figures and theories that have shaped 100 years of learning theory research. Ramirez and Olson include analyses of different approaches and comparisons between them to help students differentiate and critically evaluate schools of thought, progressing systematically from simpler theories to more complex ones. Tailored pedagogy and reflection questions encourages students to make their own syntheses and criticisms of key concepts and controversies in the discipline.

An Introduction to Theories of Learning, 10^th Edition is essential reading for students of learning or other elements of applied cognitive psychology.
