Abstract
The principles of learning that have been taught to teachers at all levels are revised in terms of modern cognitive psychology. Ten basic learning principles are identified arising from the educational psychology literature used in teacher-preparation programs. Revisions are suggested according to current theory and research in cognitive psychology. In particular, the earlier contributions of E. L. Thorndike, Guthrie, Lewin, Tolman, and Skinner are reinterpreted through the work of Anderson, Ausubel, Bandura, Farley, Gagne, McKeachie, Nuttin, Marton, Pavio, Rychlak, Weiner, Wittrock, and others. A set of 10 revised principles of learning is derived and presented together with interpretations of this analysis for the work of teachers.
