Guy R. Lefrançois

Theories of Human Learning

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Suitable for graduate and undergraduate students, this new edition reflects a significant update in research, theory, and applications in all areas of learning theory. It is both a serious, academic textbook and the delightful tale of the sharp-witted and acerbic narrator, Mrs Gribbin, and her (possibly dangerous) cat.

Rezensionen

'I have used Theories of Human Learning since the 'Old Man' edition and have found it to be the most informative, as well as entertaining, book on the topics of behavioral theory, learning, memory, and cognition. It is well-written and very much appreciated by students.' James McGowan, Executive Director of Off-Campus Administration, Adelphi University, New York
