How to Learn with Brain Waves

Reviews the book, The Psychology of Learning by B. R. Bugelski (1956). As a text for a course in learning and motivation the book is probably better than any available alternative. It presents a wide variety of experimental material in both areas, fairly extensive discussions of major problems and theoretical issues without complete exposition of various theoretical systems, some attempts to integrate the material, and finally some cautious application of principles to problems of personality disorders and problems of education. In editorial and technical matters, the book is somewhat below standard. There are lapses of diction, grammar, punctuation, and spelling. For all this, author's is a good text in learning which many will find useful. As for its tentative, conceptual neurophysiological model, author may be commended for his courage in submitting it to the test of the market place of ideas.
