In this landmark volume from 1976, Robert Crowder presents an organized review of the concepts that guide the study of learning and memory. The basic organization of the book is theoretical, rather than historical or methodological. Crowder presumes no prior knowledge of the subject matter on the part of the reader, technical terms are kept to a minimum, and he makes every effort to introduce them carefully when they first occur. It introduced a generation of senior undergraduates and graduates to the topic of memory and learning.
