Synopsis

This book explores the nature of trial and error learning, a behavior common to both humans and animals. The author investigates this concept by conducting experiments where human subjects learn to trace a six-pointed star reflected in a mirror. The book provides a detailed analysis of the learning process, breaking it down into stages and identifying the role of factors such as instructions, repetition, and recess periods. The author discovered that the learning process is influenced by the instructions given to the learner, with instructions emphasizing accuracy leading to different outcomes than those focusing on speed. Furthermore, the book highlights the importance of recess periods in facilitating improvement and discusses physiological changes that occur during the learning process. Through a combination of objective data and introspective analysis, the author presents a comprehensive understanding of trial and error learning and its implications for our understanding of learning in general.
