Learning and Memory: An Integrated Approach by John R. Anderson (2000)

[Stefan · Rating 3 out of 5]

a rather dry textbook, bit dated too (hence some theories in the learning part seems a bit naive, however I haven't expected 2 decades of research and progress in neuroscience to have so little impact), anyway - look for something a bit more up to date (as long as you aren't trying to understand context of science in which Pinker wrote his first bestsellers)
