"The organization of the material is outstanding...ideas flow
naturally...the most readable learning text I have ever
encountered... I haven't seen this coherent a presentation of
learning issues and data since the days of Hilgard and Bower."
"Covers some complex topics clearly and concisel...balances the
seriousness of the material with light-hearted examples and
headings...This text provides a very nice synthesis of traditional
learning approaches and more contemporary cognitive approaches to
learning. It is rare to find an author who presents these two
approaches in an unbiased way and, not stopping there, helps the
reader to integrate the two...into a whole that is greater than the
sum of its parts. The text is rigorous, but is written in a way
that will challenge a student, rather than intimidate them."
"The solid integration of cognitive and behavioral ideas without
presenting them as if they are in constant conflict is one of the
best features... The writing style is very readable and the
examples and illustrations are excellent for making the necessary
points. Finally, the coverage of cornerstone research is excellent,
the text certainly does not lack breadth...the text flows
beautifully."
