Summary:

This collection represents the most exciting research on learning and individual differences to emerge in recent years and makes a major statement on the state of the field today. Culled from the work of many of the world's most important researchers working on learning and individual differences, it draws together an international and interdisciplinary exchange that is vibrant and uninhibited. New developments in cognitive, experimental, instructional, and personality psychology provide important sources for understanding both the characteristics of the learner and the characteristics of the learning situation.
