| Summary: | Presents research and theory concerning the topic of learning and individual differences. While cutting across traditional boundaries in psychology, researchers provide incisive historical reviews and integrative analyses of critical research. Developments in several areas, including cognitive, experimental, instructional, quantitative methodology, and differential psychology provide insights for understanding both the characteristics of the learner and the characteristics of the learning situation. Also discussed is new research on information processing, ability traits, and knowledge as they pertain to adult learning and individual differences. Edited open discussions of each chapter provide an interchange of ideas and criticism, which shows where paradigms collide and cross-fertilization of methods and perspectives can occur. This book is based on a conference held at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, in October 1997. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved). |
