Review of The psychology of learning

Abstract

Review of "The psychology of learning" by James Deese (see record 1952-15050-000 ). Since this book is designed as a text (for advanced undergraduate and graduate students), one of the difficulties inherent in all textbook reviews is encountered here: The professional reader will find in it much that is already familiar, and low in interest value, but which the student may react to very differently. The reviewer therefore tried to look at the book through student eyes. By doing this, the present volume stands up well. It is an excellent job of bookmaking; and despite its being pitched at the textbook level, professional readers will find parts of it novel and exciting.
