Description - The Structure of Learning by R. Allen Gardner
Integrating basic principles of ethology and the psychology of learning and illuminating them in the context of actual experiments, this text offers a conceptually coherent introduction to what is known about how all living organisms profit from experience and adapt to their environments. Throughout the book, the focus is on the operational definition of theory. The book's primary focus is the tools of enquiry in this field. Consequently, descriptions of experiments and series of experiments which build on each other appear in some depth. The text shows how experimental operations develop from experiment to experiment by describing them in historical series and in enough detail to show continuity. The strategy is intended to provoke interest in experimental operations by questioning traditional views. The volume presents major traditional positions in detail but demands that readers examine evidence, recognize weaknesses and consider alternatives.
