About this book
Learning becomes more useful when new facts connect with ideas already understood. George Herbert Betts develops that argument in this educational psychology text, linking the study of the mind to classroom practice and ordinary working life. Chapters cover consciousness, attention, the nervous system, habit, perception, imagination and memory. The revised edition also includes exercises in observation and introspection, giving students and teachers ways to examine the processes discussed.
The discussion of association gives the book a particularly practical focus. Betts considers how interest affects recall, why isolated facts can be hard to use, and why a word learned in a spelling lesson may still be misspelled in composition. He also questions the use of poetry and other reading as punishment. Readers interested in the history of education will find an early twentieth-century account of how psychology could guide teaching, with concrete examples of problems that arise while studying.
