This book is a systematic introduction to learning psychology. It describes, analyzes and explains learning by means of 19 scenarios from everyday situations. The reader may therefore connect theoretical considerations with experiences he or she can easily follow. Several scenarios stem from family situations, others from school and business, and still others refer to very individual learning processes: modification of one's own behavior, acquisition of motor skills, or elaborating one's knowledge structures or problems solving abilities. Having worked through the 19 scenarios the reader will be acquainted with the important learning theories: behavioristic, cognitive, social-cognitive as well as the Gestaltists'.
