Theories of Human Learning: What the Professor Said

by Guy R. Lefrancois

Both a serious academic text and a delightful story, this book offers a clear, readable look at a full range of learning theories from behavioral to cognitive. It also covers memory, motivation, connectionism (neural net models), and social learning and concludes with a comprehensive synthesis. Its most apparent strength is its easily accessible style, but its greatest value lies in the clarity of its concepts and its emphasis on practical applications. THEORIES OF HUMAN LEARNING is narrated by a Professor. But this Professor isn't just anyone. In fact, those familiar with previous editions may conclude that he is related to Kongor and Kro, two extraterrestrials who so successfully guided students through the first two editions�-or to the Old Man or, later, the Old Woman who led readers through the next editions. Wise as he is, the Professor does the job even more effectively than his predecessors in this sixth edition of THEORIES OF HUMAN WHAT THE PROFESSOR SAID.

Once my faltmate was in my room while I was reading the book. Occasionally, I burst into laughter because of the funny senteces in the book. After some other fits of laughter, my friend came to my desk, looked at the cover of the book and despite the fact that he knew I had been reading a book on psychology, he asked me in awe if what I was reading was really an academic book!
