'This undergraduate textbook is remarkable. To my knowledge no other book provides such a comprehensive coverage of the topics of learning and memory. Moreover, this unique breadth of coverage has not been gained by treating topics superficially. Quite the contrary, from start to finish readers are provided with a detailed understanding of all the major issues that have confronted the study of learning and memory. Finally, the foregoing achievements are crowned by the wonderful manner in which the book is written. The reader is treated as an equal to the author, and even complex issues, such as formal models of learning, are presented in a clear and engaging manner that sets this book head and shoulders above other undergraduate texts on learning and memory.' Professor John Pearce, Cardiff University, Fellow of the Royal Society
'Lieberman's Learning and Memory is one of those rare textbooks that finds an optimal balance between lively exposition and scientific rigor. In particular, his treatment of mathematical modeling as a tool for understanding human learning makes this text my 'go to' for teaching students about modern behavioral science.' Tom Faulkenberry, Tarleton State University
'Lieberman does an excellent job of making traditionally challenging concepts from research on learning and memory accessible for undergraduates. I especially appreciate the numerous examples of real-world applications that he weaves throughout the text, including a particularly fascinating penultimate chapter on several practical applications of memory research.' Lauren Bates, Flagler College
'Learning and Memory, 2nd Edition, by Lieberman, presents a rare combination of topics, in a scholarly, yet engaging, manner. Books that combine Learning Theory and Cognitive Theory are becoming extremely rare. Those that meet the needs of undergraduate courses are even rarer. This book combines clear explanations of theory, practical applications, and engaging examples of the complex theories in both disciplines in a way that teaches and reaches students. It provides all the best of both areas in a readable, comprehensive form.' Melissa Shyan-Norwalt, University of Cincinnati
'In the second edition of Learning and Memory, David A. Lieberman's clear writing and organization focuses students on core concepts that will form a foundation for further study. This text helps my students to build an integrated understanding of human learning across this survey course, and to apply that understanding to solve meaningful problems in their own lives.' Karl Bailey, Andrews University
'Lieberman provides an excellent introduction to the psychological science of learning and memory, from historical developments to current research. He also shows how this knowledge can be used to understand behavior in the real world. The breadth of coverage is impressive; whereas most textbooks of this kind focus mostly on either learning or memory, Lieberman covers both in equal depth. His conversational style makes this a very accessible read.' John Green, University of Vermont
