| Summary: | "Psychology possesses an intrinsic structure that demands three-dimensional treatment. In an effort to reveal this structure this book emphasizes the core of psychological knowledge. This core has two components: basic psychological processes and complex psychological processes. In the former category are the facts and theories that emerge from the experimental analysis of sensation, conditioning, perception, and motivation. They reveal how fundamental principles of behavior operate in isolation. How these principles interact can be seen most clearly in the study of such complex psychological processes as learning and forgetting, verbal behavior and problem solving, and frustration and conflict. The other areas of psychology like personality and social behavior can be best understood in terms of how they radiate from the inner core of psychology"--Preface "To the student: The book contains six sections, each consisting of a group of related chapters. Each section is preceded by a short introduction which provides an overview of the material to be presented. Each chapter concludes with a summary that presents the essence of the material in capsule form. A Study Guide has been written to accompany Basic Psychology. At the end of each chapter are Suggestions for Further Reading"--Book. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
