Critiques of Page

I think this article should really be merged into Educational psychology. Cormaggio ^@ 11:42, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I can't tell what the purpose of this article is... -RJFerret 05:40, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

The problem is just that this article is not yet sufficiently developed. There is a very substantial history of ideas relating to the psychology of learning, beginning with theories of epistemology in philosophy, and covering over a century of learning theories in psychology from Ebbinghaus to connectionism and beyond. It definitely needs a WP article distinct from educational psychology. Nesbit 03:40, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I think this article can have more information for each subject. There is not a lot of information about the psychologists. There can be more information about their contributions to the psychology of learning. When it is talking about the early approaches, it mentions Freud and Dewey's theories. However it doesn't give any further insight to their theories. When it is talking about Jean Piaget, it doesn't give any information about the stage except the ages. Because of the lack of information, it seems a bit random and incomplete.Purplecow100 (talk) 01:05, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Why educational psychology is distinct from the psychology of learning

(This is a copy of my posting on the Educational psychology talk page)

• Educational psychology is an applied discipline, which studies how psychology can be put to work for educational purposes. The psychological study of learning is a theoretical science which seeks understanding of learning for its own sake, and need not justify its efforts in relation to any practical application.
• Educational psychology is solely concerned with humans. Psychological theories of learning often seek to explain learning in other species.
• Educational psychology applies psychological dimensions other than learning, such as developmental

psychology, personality theories, individual differences, and social psychology.

• Educational psychology programs are usually administered separately (most often within faculties of education) from programs focusing on the psychology of learning.
• Educational psychology is recognized as a distinct division within the American Psychological Association.
• As somewhat overlapping domains of theory and scholarship, educational psychology and the psychology learning both cover such vast tracts of knowledge, that there is more than enough published material to inform distinct articles for these two fields.

Revamp efforts right now

Hi everyone! I am a current psychology graduate student and I plan to update/revamp this page in a couple of weeks! Looking at this talk page, I see that there is a need in elaborating on the various philosophies of learning both now and throughout history ranging on issues such as epistemology and connectionism. I also think there can be a section discussing current issues related to the psychology of education (e.g. growth vs. fixed mindset, issues related to IQ, etc.). Anyways, definitely plan to add more substance. If there are any suggestions or thoughts that you have as I embark on this, feel free to let me know! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yjeffrey7 (talk • contribs) 20:44, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Published the Revamp

Special:Diff/927325445

Hi everyone, I finally completed a revamp of this page! Here is a summary of the changes:

1. First, I expanded the page's history section to include the various historical eras of the Psychology of Learning. 2. I moved all the biographies of the learning psychologists into a new section titled "Psychologists & Learning Theorists." I think this will make a better distinction between the biographies of Learning Psychologists and the general history of the Psychology of Learning. 3. I also expanded the "Psychology of Learning Theories" section by including some new theories such as Neuroscience, Behaviorism, Social Cognitive Theory, Information Processing Theories, and Motivation. 4.Lastly, I got rid of the "Ethics" and "Around the World" sections since they weren't really relevant for this page.

Let me know what you all think! As we all know, this page is a living document and so I am more than happy to continue making changes. If you have any suggestions, comments, or questions. Feel free to let me know and I will try to incorporate them! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yjeffrey7 (talk • contribs) 19:43, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

• Article has not been expanded 5×. Currently the text is 26065 characters, and before Yjeffrey7's enlargement it was 10600 characters, so this is a bit over double. There is a lot of work to get this to five times, i.e. doubling the size again! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:23, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
