ABOUT THIS BOOK: This book presents the cybernetic theory of learning, emphasizing that learning is not just about forming stimulus-response associations, but rather a process of reorganizing sensory feedback within a closed loop. This reorganization enhances the learner's control over their behavior and environment. The book contrasts human learning with animal learning, highlighting its evolutionary development and the importance of the learning situation, including techniques and tools in education. It also discusses the role of feedback in learning, particularly in relation to modern educational technologies like audiovisual systems and teaching machines. Additionally, it provides an overview of other learning theories beyond behavior cybernetics. Codice articolo 16738
