The author's lucid prose demonstrates how different concepts of learning relate to one another; dozens of proven examples emphasize meaningful learning and the implications of the latest research. Clearly and entertainingly written, this book covers the following topics: learning and the brain; behaviorism and classical conditioning; effects of aversive stimuli; social-cognitive theory; long-term memory; complex learning and cognition; and motivation.
Reorganization of this edition treats Piaget and Vygotsky content in separate chapters for better integration of the theories with more contemporary research and applications. Overview section in Chapter 1 now includes a summary of various learning theories and their evolution , and provides an advance organizer for readers. Consistent with the increasing need to teach critical thinking skills to students, this edition features a key section on critical thinking that promotes critical thinking in various domains and contexts , addresses the various forms of critical thinking , and offers applicable strategies for readers that are authentic and reliable.
Discussions of technology-based learning has been significantly updated and expanded in this edition to help readers understand the advantages, downsides, and challenges of 21st-century technological innovations. Readers will find new content on computer-based problem-solving and inquiry-learning activities , cross-school collaborative learning , and the importance of critical thinking in Internet searches. PART I. Chapter 1. Perspectives on Learning. Potential Drawbacks of Theories.

Jeanne Ellis Ormrod received her B. She earned licensure in school psychology through postdoctoral work at Temple University and the University of Colorado at Boulder and has worked as a middle school geography teacher and school psychologist. Learning and Memory: From Brain to Behavior is noted for a strong focus on applications and on the relevance of learning and memory concepts to everyday life. Chapters 3 through 12 includes a "Clinical Perspectives" section that shows how knowledge of behavioral processes and brain substrates is being applied to understand clinical disorders that lead to disruptions of learning and memory.
Consistent Organization. Modular table of contents. Integrated coverage of both human and animal research. The text features a unified approach to behavioral studies and the biological mechanisms common to all species. Learning and Memory in Everyday Life boxes in each chapter illustrate the practical implications of research, especially those that are relevant and interesting to undergraduate students. Test Your Knowledge exercises introduced at intervals throughout each chapter give students the opportunity to check their comprehension and retention of more challenging topics immediately after having read about them.
Suggested answers are provided at the end of the chapter. Quiz Yourself fill-in-the blank exercises at the end of each chapter test recall of key topics and concepts. Concept Checks at the end of each chapter ask critical-thinking questions that require an understanding and synthesis of the key material in the chapter. Key Terms are defined in the text margins for emphasis and easy reference and are also listed at the end of each chapter, with page references, to help students review chapter terminology.
All key terms with their definitions are also included in an end-of-text glossary. Learning and Memory 4th edition has been thoroughly revised to feature the most updated research, include timely examples relevant to students lives.
New coverage includes:. New discussion of technologies for personal monitoring, such as use of electrodermal activity for measuring habituation and sensitization Chapter 3. New discussion of the newly defined Internet gaming disorder Chapter 5. New coverage of developments in functional neuroimaging, including high-resolution fMRI studies to show how "memory" patterns are encoded in the cortex Chapter 7 , and new information on how techniques of optogenetics are helping tease apart cause and effect in the brain substrates of emotional learning and memory Chapter Updated coverage of the ongoing debates about the role of the hippocampus in semantic memory Chapter 7 and about adult neurogenesis in humans Chapter New material on how sleep disruption may contribute to memory decline in aging Chapter Expanded discussion of behavioral economics, including new material on delayed discounting, self-control, and altruism Chapter 5.
Added discussion of theories of memory consolidation Chapter 7. Expanded discussion of learning sets Chapter 8. Added material on the "tend-and-befriend" concept in the coverage of "fight-orflight" responses Chapter New discussion of classic taste aversion conditioning as a means of helping patients tolerate the side effects of chemotherapy Chapter 4.
New material on the importance of variability in training Chapter 6 and on the claim that 10, hours of deliberate practice is necessary to become an expert. A new box on using insights from memory research to optimize study habits Chapter 7. New discussion of the role of sleep and of the possibility of using targeted memory reactivation during sleep to enhance memory Chapter 7.
New material on how environmental enrichment affects development Chapter The organization is clear, so instructors can pick and choose which sections to cover. This allows the text to be used flexibly for a wide range of classes.
The figures and graphics are clear and at the appropriate level. The combination of classic learning theory and experiments, brain mechanisms of classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and conditioned emotional response learning, and a variety of clinical applications appealed to me in the first edition and continue to match both my academic background learning psychology and behavioral neuroscience of learning and memory and my teaching emphasis on these three broad domains learning principles, brain mechanisms, and clinical applications.
Allen Butt, University of New Mexico. I also appreciate the balance of human and non-human studies" — Brice A. Kuhl, University of Oregon. But it not only included these perspectives, it substantively interrelated them. The book I have searched high and low for a textbook that incorporates different facets of learning and this is the only text that covers learning concepts as well as the brain mechanisms and clinical implications associated with them" — Anjoli Diaz, Ball State University.
