520			_a"The seventh edition is a survey and interpretation of some of the important theories and findings in the psychology of learning. It includes a detailed examination of the main behavioristic and cognitive theories and an appraisal of each together with a discussion of its most important practical applications, especially in education. Also, it looks at the most recent and useful models of memory, motivation, social/cognitive learning, and current brain-based research, and it explores recent and rapidly changing progress in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Like its predecessors, this edition continues to emphasize relevance and practical implications of topics, clarity of presentation, and maintenance of high interest. The seventh edition reflects a significant updating of research, theory, and applications in all areas including: - highlighting recent developments in, and applications of, brain-based research - describing newer models in motivation theory and their implications - summarizing current models of memory and related implications for theories of learning - exploring the importance of technology for simulating human cognitive processes and suggesting new models of learning - examining the effects of screen violence on children and adults - looking at what machines capable of deep learning and artificially intelligent behaviors might mean for the future 18 There is also a tidbit of information about Schrödinger, a unique cat"--
