Description
Human learning is studied in a variety of ways. Motor learning is often studied separately from verbal learning. Studies may delve into
anatomy vs function, may view behavioral outcomes or look discretely at the molecular and cellular level of learning. All have merit
but they are dispersed across a wide literature and rarely are the findings integrated and synthesized in a meaningful way. Human Learning:
Biology, Brain, and Neuroscience synthesizes findings across these levels and types of learning and memory investigation.
Divided
into three sections, each section includes a discussion by the editors integrating themes and ideas that emerge across the chapters within
each section. Section 1 discusses general topics in human learning and cognition research, including inhibition, short term and long
term memory, verbal memory, memory disruption, and scheduling and learning. Section 2 discusses cognitive neuroscience aspects of human
learning. Coverage here includes models, skill acquisition, declarative and non declarative memory, age effects on memory, and memory
for emotional events. Section 3 focuses on human motor learning.
This book is suitable for cognitive neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists,
kinesthesiologists, and graduate courses in learning.
