This unique workbook promotes an active hands-on, constructional approach to the study of the psychology of learning. This approach enables the reader to discover and devise answers to problems on his or her own, rather than look for them in a book. It is assumed that for information to be remembered, it must be discovered and manipulated and also checked with old information so that existing assumptions, beliefs and knowledge can be reconstructed on the basis of the new information. This workbook replaces the method of mere rote or memorising definitions and procedures and provides the means and methods to arrive at interpretations and logical conclusions.
