On the Biology of Learning

Abstract

The book entitled "On the Biology of Learning" produced by Karl H. Pribram is a collection of five essays written by eminent scientists in the field of brain research and behavioural sciences. They deal with the neurophysiology and biochemistry of learning processes. The authors have tried to explore areas not yet open to objective analysis. The style and presentation of the data make contemplative reading possible and the book is liberal in its references. The topics covered include innate bases of learning, anatomical and biochemical aspects of learning and memory, consciousness and some recent advances in brain research.
